MSS Policy

The MSS Assembly is the policy-making body for the Medical Student Section. Policies adopted by the Assembly provide a framework for the priorities and activities of the Section. Although often complimentary, MSS policies are distinct from the official policies of the American Medical Association, which are set by the AMA House of Delegates. Current MSS Policies are compiled in the "MSS Digest of Policy Actions."

The AMA Bylaws, which are current bylaws of the Association pertaining to membership and the MSS, as well as the Internal Operating Procedures, which provide specific criteria to follow concerning all aspects of the MSS, can also be downloaded below.
