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.
Mid-Atlantic Regional Groups:
We encourage you to get involved in Chapter activities, from planning events to writing for the Web site. Please explore this site to find out more about MAC, and feel free to get in touch with any member of the Board if you have questions.
