Medical Students and Residents

Medical students and residents need a strong advocate when it comes to medical education, professional development and working in a productive and sustainable environment. The AMA is that voice.

The AMA has made great strides in facilitating action on key issues, including medical student debt, resident work conditions, clinical skills assessment and smoke-free workplaces. And with representatives on several major boards, including the National Board of Medical Examiners and the National Resident Matching Program, the AMA closely monitors developments on an ongoing basis.

Browse through AMA policy on medical education, student work hours and other related topics, and find out how you can get involved by joining the AMA Patients’ Action Network or Physicians Grassroots Network today.
