Association of Internes and Medical Students. Harvey Cushing Chapter.

Hide Profile

The Association of Internes and Medical Students (AIMS) was founded in 1941 when the Interne Council of America (ICA), formed in 1936, joined with the Association of Medical Students, formed in 1937. AIMS promoted a number of progressive causes, such as national health insurance and racial equality in medical education. Because AIMS was allied with organized labor and endorsed what were considered radical causes in the days of McCarthyism, the organization was suspected of being subversive. Increasing attacks and lack of funds forced it to disband by about 1952. The Student American Medical Association was founded in 1950 to counter AIMS.
