About Us
Welcome to GMYAA; we are so happy to have you here! GMYAA, short for the Global Medicine Youth Ambassadors of America, is inspired from a summer program some of the founders and officers attended last year at Johns Hopkins University, one of the programs being the Global Health Leadership Conference. We are thrilled to create an inspiring youth community dedicated to the field of medicine and public health! GMYAA provides opportunities for teenagers interested in medicine to learn more about the medical field and connect with other passionate students across the nation. Our bimonthly meetings will include research presentations, guest speakers, and more!
