Our Achievements
Health and Medical Education
AMPAA believes that improving the state of medical and postgraduate medical education is the best way to help in Afghanistan's healthcare system reconstruction. We have worked throughout the years to build a strong partnership with Afghanistan's Ministry of Health and hope to continue to assist in building of curriculums, medical professional organizations, residency training, and training of allied health staff.
In addition, AMPAA has provided opportunities for mentorship for newly arrived Afghan medical graduates in preparing for the USMLE examination and residency applications.
