American Academy of Medicine and Surgery at UCLA

This undergraduate organization is a club aimed for pre-med/health undergrads interested in gaining exposure to the field of medicine and surgery. The Mission of the American Academy of Medicine & Surgery (AAMS) is to provide students considering careers in science, medicine, and/or healthcare with the space and opportunity to delve deeper and more intensely in their passions. Guided by physicians, surgeons, and scientists, students are educated in basic and advanced cardiovascular anatomy and physiology, as well as surgical techniques that will be utilized in premedical studies and medical schools and residency training. Through this organization, students are guaranteed to leave with not only a deeper and more sophisticated understanding of general anatomy and physiology (and in particular, that of the cardiovascular system), but also tangible skills and techniques in surgery. Our goals are for members to: 1. Learn more about the vast fields of medicine and focus on their interests 2. Learn from current medical professionals and med students in various specialties 3. Engage with the field through shadowing opportunities and connect with surgeons in interested specialties.
