Senior physician liaisons to meet during AMA Interim Meeting

The AMA Senior Physicians Group (SPG) Governing Council will hold its next senior physicians liaison meeting on Nov. 10 in Honolulu during the Interim Meeting of the AMA House of Delegates.

The AMA-SPG is seeking representation from each state on senior-oriented programs that can be presented for discussion at both the Annual and Interim Meetings. These meetings are attended by an increasing number of senior physicians from the AMA House of Delegates, and representation enhances the effectiveness of the AMA-SPG and promotes sharing of concerns with other delegates.
