The AMA is the physician’s powerful ally in patient care, representing physicians and the patients they care for with a unified voice to all key players in health care. We are a strong advocate for the medical profession that’s needed now more than ever, as we advance our 170+ year mission to “promote the art and science of medicine and the betterment of public health.” The AMA’s broad work across health care is focused in three core areas:
- Driving the future of medicine by reimagining medical education, training, and lifelong learning, and by promoting innovation to tackle the biggest challenges in health care;
- Attacking the dysfunction in health care and removing obstacles that interfere with patient care; and
- Improving the health of the nation by leading the charge to prevent chronic disease and confront health crises.
