What it reported doing in 2025

Apamsa held its 31st annual national conference in-person on march 79, 2025 at the trent semans center, duke university school of medicine, durham, nc. Over 300 pre-medical students, medical students, and healthcare professionals attended this 3-day event. The conference theme, "blossom: healing our communities and inspiring transformation," explored intergenerational trauma, racial healing, mental health within aanhpi communities, and aanhpi identity in medicine. The conference featured keynote speakers, breakout sessions, panel discussions, a research poster session, the apamsa house of delegates (hod) meeting, and a banquet. Revenue included stripe/joinit ticket sales, direct zelle/paypal payments, and sponsorships from nbme, duke university, hpsrx, american academy of pediatrics, kaiser permanente (scpmg), ichs, and others. Apamsa provided travel subsidies for executive board members, national board members, and house of delegates chapter representatives.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
