The UPHS-CHOP Alliance of Minority Physicians (AMP) was founded in the spring of 2012 to fulfill a need identified by the Perelman School of Medicine Plan for Faculty Diversity and Inclusion.  The mission of AMP is to develop leaders in clinical, academic, and community medicine, through active recruitment, career development, mentorship, social opportunities and community outreach geared towards underrepresented faculty, housestaff, and medical students at the University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS), Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), and the Perelman School of Medicine.
