About the AMA-WPC

The Women Physicians Congress (WPC) has changed...
• New expanded AMA-WPC membership

Our mission remains the same:
• Increase the number, voice, and influence of women physicians.
• Provide a forum for women in medicine mentoring and leadership development.
• Advance advocacy and understanding of women’s health issues.
• Enhance professional options for balancing family/career responsibilities.
• Work through the AMA-WPC State and Specialty Society Liaisons to accomplish our goals.

Now representing more women in medicine:
The AMA-WPC has moved from a sign-up membership of 4,000 to a powerful new umbrella group representing over 63,000 women physicians and medical student.  All women AMA members have been automatically enrolled in the AMA-WPC and are now eligible to run for office, vote on issues, and actively participate.
