The Spartan AMSA is a chapter of the national AMSA. Spartan AMSA executive officers are also elected every trimester, and they organize numerous community outreach events such as; fundraising to support underprivileged families or people within the local community. They also organize a number of health fairs where the students screen for diabetes and hypertension (two conditions that are highly prevalent in the local population). The students also offer medical advice to attendees regarding prevention of hypertension and diabetes. Individuals with abnormal screening tests are referred to the hospital or a doctor. Each trimester, the initiation of the Spartan AMSA activities, is celebrated with a BONFIRE and a BBQ event organized by the AMSA executive members. With the Spartan AMSA activities, we intend to contribute toward improving the health status of St. Lucians, as well as instill in our students the caring and humanitarian character of the medical profession.
