The Youth Medical Association (YMA) is an organization that aims to create a community of Bay Area high school students who are interested in medicine. Bi-weekly meetings, which will take place over Zoom for at least the first semester, will expand members’ knowledge of the medical field via keynote speakers, mock medical cases, pre-professional exposure, and journal discussions. Though the Coronavirus pandemic has limited our ability to pursue the hands-on activities we would usually take part in, we hope to make YMA over Zoom exciting with the help of our speakers, advisors (Stanford faculty), and student leaders. As restrictions gradually get lifted, YMA members will tour the medical facilities of renowned Bay Area institutions, do hands-on emergency medicine activities, and become informed about medical and STEM-related summer internship opportunities.
