Florida State University
Student Organization of the Year

The American Medical Women's Association (AMWA) is a national organization that is dedicated to promoting women's health, improving the professional development and personal well-being of its members, and increasing the influence of women in all aspects of the medical profession.

This past year the Florida State University College of Medicine AMWA chapter was named “Organization of the Year” at both the College of Medicine level and at the University level (among over 450 organizations). They earned this distinction through extensive community outreach and education. Examples include close ties with the local domestic violence shelter, Refuge House, fundraising for Komen’s Passionately Pink Campaign, participation at the National AMWA conference in Anaheim, CA, as well as their event - Cervical Cancer: A Musical & Narrative Performance starring Ms Christine Baze– educating over 100 people about cervical cancer prevention.

Currently, FSUCOM student Danielle Barnes is serving as national AMWA’s Region IV coordinator, while FSUCOM's AMWA chapter is committed to continuing its strong service record and visible presence both locally and nationally.
