The AMWA was founded in 1915 by Dr. Bertha VanHoosen to address the discrepancies in a male dominated profession.
AMWA has continued in this spirit, and is now the voice of women practicing medicine in America.
AMWA-CWC is Assistance for Medical Women in America, that is designed to provide Content for Women's Careers in medicine. In order to do this, we provide you with information and links to other websites to assist you. amwa-cwc.org's goal is to support women in the medical field a similar way that the American Medical Women's Association does.
We provide news on health issues to keep you informed and up to date on what is going on in the ever-changing world of medicine, and in the world of the American Medical Women's Association. For example, take a look in our NEWS secetion to see what is up. Here is just a sample on whats happening in the world of cervical cancer treatment.
The American Medical Women's Association (AMWA) today released new cervical cancer prevention guidelines, which advocate for HPV (human papillomavirus) testing as part of screening in women age 30 and older, and for HPV vaccination for all girls age 11 and 12, along with catch-up vaccinations for other girls who qualify for vaccination. AMWA is the first medical organization to recommend that clinicians utilize these new technologies, as part of an integrated prevention strategy, and that insurance companies pay for them. The organization's move also underscores the growing role of cervical cancer detection and prevention strategies that target HPV, the virus shown to be the primary cause of cervical cancer.
We assist women in finding jobs and providing links to other websites who do the same. From women just starting thier career to 40 year veterns, we want to help you find the job that is right for you.
