American Medical Student Association
The American Medical Student Association (AMSA) represents more than
30,000 physicians-in-training throughout the world. For more than
fifty years AMSA has modeled leadership and service through its
members, who participate in programs that cover a wide spectrum,
from humanistic medicine and global health to health care legislation
and reform, public health, and minorities in medicine. AMSA has
filled in the extensive gaps left in the education of medical students
for thousands of individuals; creating opportunities for involvement
and pursuit of interests and passions outside the realm of the
classroom. These medical students represent the vision and the
future of medicine, and they are drawn together by a common calling
of commitment and dedication to service and compassion. The American
Medical Student Association supports students in creating programs
and opportunities to advance their own knowledge and to revitalize
the practice of medicine and the delivery of health care to all.
Institute of Noetic Sciences
The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), founded in 1973 by Apollo
14 astronaut Capt. Edgar Mitchell, is an organization dedicated
to “the exploration of consciousness, contributing to a change
in world views and values that will lead to the creation of a more
just, compassionate, and sustainable world.” “Noetic” comes
from the Greek word “nous” meaning mind, understanding,
knowing, implying different ways in which we gain knowledge. IONS
has been on the frontier of scientific research and exploration
into healing alternatives as well as in our understanding of the
nature of human consciousness and how personal transformation can
create significant changes in our world. IONS has a beautiful 200
acre campus retreat in Petaluma, California, which will be the
residence for the Global Medicine Education Student Program. This site
on sacred land will contribute to deepening relationships with
nature and spirit, while helping all involved to forge an alliance
with other individuals dedicated to a world view that serves and
sustains all.
