Economic Impact Study

UPDATED | 4 Min Read

Updated every few years, the AMA Economic Impact Study illustrates the significant impact physicians have on our national and state economies through the creation of jobs, the purchase of goods and services, and the generation of state and local tax revenue.

Doctors contribute more than $2.3 trillion to the national economy.

The AMA and state medical societies leverage studies like the Economic Impact Study to educate lawmakers on issues that matter to you, including medical liability reform, unfair payment practices and Medicaid reimbursement.

With this detailed information, lawmakers can give greater consideration to physicians in their own local communities.
