i found a lot of great summer fellowships on the AMSA website and wanted to get more information from my campus AMSA chapter... but found out that we don't have one.
actually, my school is nationally registered, but the chapter at my school is not currently active. i know SOMA is our AMSA equivalent but wanted to see if any osteopathic schools had AMSA representation on their campuses.
i'm thinking about reviving our chapter but wanted to see what DO students thought. i think AMSA offers a lot of opportunities for medical students (allopathic AND osteopathic); however, i've gotten mixed reviews from students at my school. some think we, as DOs, should be "loyal" to the AOA and focus our efforts on SOMA. i think, having both, would create more opportunities for student involvement.
do you think having both chapters is redundant? any thoughts?
