Meet and Greets

As part of an exciting program to involve physicians in our activities and agenda, the AMA is crossing the country to meet with physicians like you! Meet and Greets provide a terrific opportunity to connect with AMA leadership in a small, interactive group setting to give input, ask questions and exchange ideas about the AMA's agenda and priorities. Through these sessions, we can better understand the issues physicians face and how we can work together to address them. We want to hear your voice!

If you have a question, concerns or comment about the Meet and Greets, or other ways to get involved in the AMA's activities and agenda, please contact: Gail Fritz or call (800) 262-3211, extension 5319.
