Welcome!
The American Medical Writers Association (AMWA),
founded in 1940, is a nonprofit organization offering educational programs,
networking opportunities, and publications to enhance the expertise of
biomedical communications professionals. There are 20
regional chapters covering the US and Canada. The Mid-Atlantic Chapter
serves more than 300 members in the vicinity of Maryland, Virginia, and
Washington, DC. Membership in the Chapter is automatic for those within
this region.
The Chapter sponsors two chapter-wide activities each
year in the Baltimore-Washington area and an annual Core
Curriculum conference. Our regional meeting coordinators are continually
working to initiate informal gatherings for
members in other areas, including our Southeast Virginia satellite, which
holds occasional meetings for members in the Tidewater area.
