Weigh in on AMA policy proposals from AMA-YPS

Weigh in on AMA policy proposals from AMA-YPS

All members of the AMA Young Physicians Section (YPS) are invited to submit online comments on AMA-YPS resolutions through the AMA-YPS online "reference committee" forum (AMA login required).

Testimony submitted online will be considered for the preliminary reference committee report, which will be prepared in advance of the AMA-YPS Annual Assembly Meeting. The preliminary report will serve as the basis for extraction and discussion at the traditional on-site reference committee meeting, which will take place June 14 during the AMA-YPS meeting.

The online "reference committee" forum will be open until June 5. Physicians also can comment on other proposed AMA policy reports and resolutions in a separate HOD online forum.
