I'm current VP and next year's President of FDA and we are getting involved in starting a national organization. And since there's already a national organization for Future Business Leaders of America, why not physicians. Although I believe the organization should focus on health care professionals and not just physicians.
It would be a 501(c)3 non-for-profit educational association with high school chapters as members. To start it up, chapters would have to send in membership fees. It would also be funded by conference fees, corporate donations, and grants. I think it's a good idea to receive recognition from various organizations like the American Medical Student Association, US Department of Health, American Medical Association, etc. A national conference could bring all chapters together one weekend and there could be idea sharing, medical discussions, guest speakers from various medical schools, and etc.
This idea is still in its early stages and a list of high school chapters to contact would be great! Feel free to e-mail me.
