Why a point system?

AMSA's point system helps track member participation throughout the semester. Members earn points for attending meetings, volunteering, engaging in various enrichment opportunities and engaging within our AMSA community. As they earn points, members can reach Active, Bronze, Silver or Gold status. This serves as a way to encourage members to take advantage of the wonderful opportunities AMSA offers and to reward those who go above and beyond. AMSA members are highly encouraged to achieve at least active status; to read more about why this is encouraged, see the "Member Status" section below.

How to Log and View Points

Members are responsible for logging points via Google Forms for social media and outside volunteering. Members can also view their point history for the semester via Google Sheets through the link that will soon be provided at the top of this page. The spreadsheet will contain the point history for our 200+ members; to find yourself, simply search for your name. 

Member Status

AMSA's members can achieve five different member statuses. Each status description and point requirement is below. Members do NOT achieve active status by simply paying dues and joining the organization. 

​

GOLD (45 points)

Gold members attend the End of Semester Party. To become a Gold member, you must meet all active requirements and have 45 total points.

 

SILVER (35 points)

Silver members attend the End of Semester Party. To become a Silver member, you must meet all active requirements and have 35 total points.

 

BRONZE (25 points)

Bronze members attend the End of Semester Party in the Fall and receive a reduced price ticket to the Spring Banquet. To become a Bronze member, you must meet all active requirements and have 25 total points.

 

ACTIVE (15 points)

Reaching active status is especially important because when you become active, your name is registered with the Office of Professional School Advising. To become active, you must attend 1 social event, 1 volunteering event, 1 Medical Professionalism event, 3 meetings, and have a total of 15 points.

 

INACTIVE (less than 15 points or failure to meet requirements)

There are two ways in which members can be inactive. Members who earn more than 15 points but fail to meet the basic point requirements (1 social events, 1 volunteering event, 1 Medical Professionalism event, and 3 meeting events unless excused) will be considered inactive. Members who meet the basic point requirements but fail to earn more than 15 points will also be considered inactive.

AMSA provides six different ways in which members can earn points towards an active status.
