Journal of the American Medical Student Association




JAMSA is the official academic publication of the American Medical Student Association, hosted on the ConductScience publishing platform. It is a peer-reviewed, open-access academic journal that provides a platform for early-career physicians, medical students, residents, graduate students, and research-focused undergraduates to contribute to and shape the future of medical scholarship.
The journal is developed and edited by a team of emerging leaders in medicine and science, working in collaboration with senior faculty and experienced researchers to ensure academic rigor, editorial integrity, and scholarly mentorship.
JAMSA aims to advance scholarship across four primary content areas. It is the synergy among these four domains that defines the publication’s scope, bringing together diverse but interrelated threads of modern healthcare scholarship to drive innovation in research methodologies, clinical application, systems improvement, and health policy reform.
