AMA-MAS Strategic Plan
The AMA Minority Affairs Consortium (MAC) became the AMA’s newest section and will now be known as the Minority Affairs Section (MAS). The acronym MAS (which in Spanish means “more”) is pronounced like “moss” not “mass.”
The AMA-MAS strongly encourages promoting leadership in addressing health disparities. View our Strategic Plan.
So, recruit a new member or rejoin and take advantage of the many benefits of AMA-MAS membership. Join now and learn more.
We will continue to keep you updated on Section initiatives and news.
