Nikki Silber—Communications Specialist II, Content Strategy Office

Nikki Silber

Q: How would you describe your role at the AMA? What is a “Day in the Life”?

A: My role is focused on social media strategy, brand management, and business development. Some of my daily work includes writing promotional language, collaborating with other BUs, tracking and analyzing social media performance, and maintaining websites for the American and International Conferences on Physician Health. I also serve on the ACPH/ICPH planning committees, work with my team to plan marketing and communications, liaise with the AMA and EdHub social teams, maintain brand standards, manage Asana projects, coordinate design requests with MMX, and develop/nurture external partnerships. Through content creation and collaboration, I support many PS2 initiatives, including the Joy in Medicine® Health System Recognition Program, the Organizational Biopsy®, AMA STEPS Forward®, Career Advancement Collective, and more. My work is grounded in clear communication, creative problem-solving, and collaboration in support of the AMA’s mission. While no two days are the same, without challenge, there is no change!

Q: What is your favorite part of working at the AMA?

A: My favorite part of my role at the AMA is collaborating with other business units! I love peeking into the worlds of the MMX-ers, Ed Center-ers, EC-ers, OGC-ers, and many more, not just to get a feel of their roles and the work they do, but to get to know the other personalities at the AMA. One thing I take pride in with our organization is just how diverse, talented, and impressive every individual is. There is so much potential within every person I meet, and it's inspiring.

Q: What is one thing on your bucket list?

A: I recently started a notes app on my phone for this one! So far, I've got: catch a t-shirt from a t-shirt gun, see a rocket launch IRL, go to a concert at Red Rocks in Colorado, drive a plane around a tarmac (maybe fly one too, but I'm less confident on that one), milk a cow, fly a kite, and see the Northern Lights.
