Committee on Membership and Chapter Development
About the committee
The Committee on Membership and Chapter Development (MCD) is charged with achieving 100% membership of all medical students, both allopathic and osteopathic, in the MSS. In a sense, it is our responsibility to grow the AMA, to continue its mission, and to produce future members and physician-leaders in healthcare. Together, we aim to give every medical student a voice by helping them join the AMA, through assisting struggling chapters around the country, targeting groups who have otherwise shied away from the AMA, and educating students about the benefits of AMA membership. Our goal is 100% membership at every school, in every state, all over the country, and we have taken that duty upon ourselves to relentlessly pursue our goal until it is reached!

Resources
Chapter Involvement Grants
These grants are made available to all AMA-MSS chapters to use for purposes of recruitment, education, and community service, worth up to $1000 for each academic year. These funds have been specifically set aside for students, so all you have to do is apply!
Medical Student Section Outreach Program (MSSOP)
Each school should have an MSSOP representative, who coordinates chapter recruitment efforts with the AMA. Chapters can order recruitment incentives (Stedman’s Medical Dictionaries, Deluxe Dissection Kits) and recruitment materials (flyers, handouts, applications) as well as find a multitude of ideas for recruitment activities and some talking points to bring up with potential members.
