Your AMA Internet ID was used to authenticate your identity as a licensed physician for transactions over the Internet. You've likely used this identification to secure access to the American Medical Association's Online Data Collection Center (OLDCC), which lets you securely update your listing in the AMA Doctor Finder portion of the AMA Web site.
Due to a recent system upgrade, your current AMA Internet ID is no longer valid. The AMA invites you to re-establish your account and reconfirm or create a new password for your OLDCC transactions. Following the directions at the Physician/Medical Student Web Site Registration page will take no more than three minutes and will enable you to enjoy a more efficient and secure experience with the Online Data Collection Center .
