Each year, USC APAMSA, along with Alhambra High School’s Math, Engineering, and Science Achievement Program (MESA), pairs up high school students with first or second-year medical students based upon common interests, such as hobbies, college interests, and extracurricular activities.  

The goals of the program are twofold: (1) To provide high school students with positive role models who can serve as a resource as they go through the rigors of high school, apply to colleges, and plan their future careers and (2) to give medical students an opportunity to serve the community and make a difference in the lives of young people.  We hope to accomplish these goals through academic and social events.   

Last year, 54 MESA students were matched with mentors and the program introduced three new events, which were all well received.  This year, our goal is to build upon the success of last year’s program and strengthen the relationship that USC APAMSA shares with the Alhambra community.

Please contact our program coordinators if you'd like more information.

The Asian Pacific American Medical Student Association at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine seeks to promote health and well-being for East Asian, South Asian, and Pacific Islander communities and individuals, as well as other populations of color, through community involvement and medical student education.

The diversity of Asian and Pacific Islander communities in Los Angeles necessitates raising awareness of and addressing unmet health needs specific to each community. These goals stand behind current projects of youth mentorship, health fairs, Hepatitis B community outreach, cultural events, bone marrow registration drives, and research opportunities.
