Human Trafficking Initiative
AMWA has identified human trafficking as a pressing issue to be addressed. Interest in this prevalent issue has resulted in Dr. Kanani Titchen's IRB approved study to identify healthcare worker's knowledge of the topic, workshops on identifying and assisting trafficked victims, a discussion with Rachel Lloyd (author of Girls Like Us), and currently a position paper. For more information on the initiative click here.

Region 6 Update
The newly formed Indiana University School of Medicine-Terre Haute student branch of AMWA has focused its volunteer efforts on improving the health of the community, especially for those with limited access to medical resources. The IUSM-TH campus has a history of partnering with the community in overcoming barriers to health and reversing unhealthy habits through health education at the annual, medical student-organized Terre Haute Community Health Fair. This year marked the 10th anniversary for the event, and AMWA recognized this as an opportunity to solidify our branch, advance our volunteer goals, and diversify the free services available at the health fair. AMWA collaborated with Women’s Wellness on Wheels, a mobile health clinic operated by the IU National Center of Excellence (IUNCOE) in Women’s Health that aims to raise awareness and improve the status of women’s health in Indiana through education and screening. AMWA student members from the MS2, MS3, and MS4 classes assisted Dr. Rohr-Kirchgraber, AMWA President-Elect and Executive Director of the IUNCOE in Women’s Health, to provide comprehensive screenings for over 50 visitors. Each screening included BMI, blood glucose, and blood pressure tests, followed by a 5-10 minute motivational counseling session on their physical and mental health. Through this experience, medical students engaged with community members to practice clinical skills, while learning about the psychosocial and economic dimensions of illness.
