| AMA {American Medical Association) | |

"AMA strives to serve as the voice of the American medical
profession. Being that voice is our mission.
From tobacco to adolescent health, from AIDS to Medicare, the American Medical Association speaks out on issues important to patients and the nation's health. AMA policy on such issues is decided through its democratic policy-making process, in the AMA House of Delegates, which meets twice a year. The House is comprised of physician delegates representing every state; nearly 100 national medical specialty societies; federal service agencies, including the Surgeon General of the United States; and six sections representing hospital and clinic staffs, resident physicians, medical students, young physicians, medical schools and international medical graduates." |
