Stay current on the latest on the issues impacting physicians, patients and the health care environment with the AMA’s Advocacy Update newsletter.

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to join hundreds of physician leaders and medical society staff and:  

  • Hear from national experts on the critical issues impacting medicine at the state level  

  • Strategize with advocacy leaders on their organizations’ state legislative and regulatory priorities 

  • Network with other physician leaders and colleagues from across the country  

Conference content will focus on high-priority health care issues that states will likely address in the coming legislative sessions, such as combatting harmful payer practices, preserving physician-led team-based care and uplifting physician wellness. Other critical issues will include augmented intelligence, mental health and substance use disorder parity, private equity and reproductive health.
