About Albanian American Medical Student Society (AAMSS) — Loyola Stritch School of Medicine

Area served:
Loyola Stritch School of Medicine, Maywood, IL

The Albanian American Medical Student Society (AAMSS) is a student organization at Loyola University Chicago's Stritch School of Medicine, based on the Maywood, Illinois campus at 2160 South First Avenue. It operates under Loyola's student organization framework rather than as a separate nonprofit, and its work centers on medical students and aspiring physicians connected to the Albanian-American community.

The group's stated purpose is to build a professional network for medical students and medical professionals from and adjacent to the Albanian-American community. Through partnerships with Albanian-American students and clinicians at other institutions, AAMSS helps members work toward their educational goals and prepare for residency and career opportunities. It also serves as a resource for undergraduate students who are considering applying to medical school.

Beyond career development, AAMSS works to raise cultural awareness and to encourage advocacy for the health and wellness of the wider Albanian-American community, with explicit attention to the Albanian diaspora and the socioeconomic obstacles that affect it.

The chapter's current student leadership is listed publicly on the Stritch site: co-presidents Arba Cecia and Xhulio Arolli, with Ermelinda Ndoka serving as vice president. Loyola's directory does not publish a founding year for the group, and AAMSS at Stritch should not be confused with the separately run Albanian American Medical Society (AAMS), a professional organization that is not affiliated with Loyola.
