Student Organizations

Students of Saint James School of Medicine are given an opportunity to create and expand existing organizations and associations. We are pleased to help them in those ventures with financial and organizational support.

Student Government Association (SGA)
The goal of the SGA is to promote self-improvement, to address student problems in collaboration with the school administration, to maintain good relations with the island community and the Government of Anguilla, as well as organize recreational activities. Each semester, the student body elects a president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. Class SGA representatives are elected from semesters one through four and serve as SGA officers. The SGA sponsors student events like the welcome party for new students and health related projects for the island community. The officers meet regularly with the medical school administration to discuss student concerns and issues.

American Medical Student Association (AMSA) at SJSM
The American Medical Students Association (AMSA) is the oldest and largest independent association of physicians-in-training in the United States. AMSA is a student-governed, national organization committed to representing the concerns of physicians-in-training. With a membership of more than 67,000 medical students, premedical students, interns, residents and practicing physicians from across the country, AMSA continues its commitment to improving medical training and the nation's health. At AMSA, activism is a way of life. When you join AMSA, you become part of a vital force of future physicians who believe that patients and health professionals are partners in the management of health care and that access to high-quality health care is a right and not a privilege. Student idealism is transformed into meaningful public service, innovation and institutional change. Become a member of the AMSA-SJSM Chapter and transform your passion into action and meaningful change.
