Register for the next AMA-YPS meeting
Details about this year's AMA Young Physicians Section Interim Assembly Meeting, including information about travel arrangements, are now available online. The meeting will take place Nov. 8–10 in Honolulu in conjunction with the Interim Meeting of the AMA House of Delegates.
Register (AMA login required) for the meeting by Oct. 22. After this date, you will have to register on site in Honolulu.
Resolutions are due Oct. 8 via email to Harley Grant of the AMA. Also, email him if you are interested in serving on an AMA-YPS committee for the meeting.
Manual helps doctors with employment agreements
With more and more established physicians, as well as those completing training, becoming employees of hospitals, medical groups or affiliate organizations, it's important that they enhance their understanding and negotiating position as they navigate employment contracts and opportunities in these practice settings.
A manual from the AMA, the "Annotated Model Physician-Hospital Employment Agreement," can help. This resource addresses the specific needs of established physicians and those completing training who are preparing to negotiate an employment contract with a hospital or related entity.
AMA members can access the manual for free; nonmembers can purchase it through the AMA Bookstore. If you're not a member, join today.
