Men's Medical Association

FutureDoc writes "St. Louis University School of Medicine is attempting to charter a student group [tentatively] called "American Men's Medical Association". The initiative is to offer male students (who are a statistical minority this year) the same benefits and representation that the women's group (AMWA) provides. There has been an incredible uproar as the meer proposal is "a slap in the face of [oppressed] women". It is likely that the group will never be allowed to be sanctioned; funny since educating about prostate cancer and the risks of heart disease in men are amongst the most pertinent topics in practical medicine; instead we will continue to support breast cancer (in women only) and try our best to insure that our female classmates are propelled ahead of us in the professional field through whatever means necessary."
