Highlights from the 2025 AMA Annual Meeting

The AMA is fighting for physicians, and as the physician’s powerful ally the AMA is focused on addressing the issues important to doctors so they can focus on what matters most—patients.

The AMA’s advocacy efforts (PDF) are directed and deepened by the AMA House of Delegates, which works in a democratic process to create a national physician consensus on emerging issues in public health, science, ethics, business and government to improve the care and public heath of patients and communities. 

More than 700 physician and medical student delegates gathered over the last week at Hyatt Regency Chicago for the 2025 AMA Annual Meeting. The meeting highlights below would not have been possible without writing and reporting by AMA Senior News Writers Brendan Murphy and Andis Robeznieks, as well as the work of the AMA’s media relations team. Special thanks to Ted Grudzinski and Barbara Freeman for their many great shots of the House of Delegates in action. 

The delegates will next meet in November for the 2025 AMA Interim Meeting in National Harbor, Maryland. Find out more about AMA virtual and in-person events. 

Make sure health AI works for patients and physicians

In the fast-moving and promising arena of augmented intelligence (AI)—often called artificial intelligence—delegates took several actions to strengthen existing AMA policy and ensure that the technology is “explainable,” validated, well defined and is not used to conduct medical research fraud. The moves will strengthen the AMA's fight to make technology work for physicians.

“With the proliferation of augmented intelligence tools in clinical care, we must push for greater transparency and oversight so physicians can feel more confident that the clinical tools they use are safe, based on sound science, and can be discussed appropriately with their patients when making shared decisions about their health care,” said AMA Trustee Alexander Ding, MD, MS, MBA, a diagnostic and interventional radiologist.

“The need for explainable AI tools in medicine is clear, as these decisions can have life-or-death consequences,” Dr. Ding added. “The AMA will continue to identify opportunities where the physician voice can be used to encourage the development of safe, responsible and impactful tools used in patient care.”

The latest AMA survey of physicians shows that they are largely enthusiastic about health AI’s potential, with 68% seeing at least some advantage to the use of AI in their practice, up from 65% in 2023. Meanwhile, the share of physicians using some type of AI tool in practice rose from 38% in 2023 to 66% in 2024. 

However, there are still key concerns as physicians continue to explore how these tools will impact their practices. Implementation guidance and research, including clinical evidence, remain critical to helping physicians adopt AI tools.

New AMA president: “Determined” physicians can lead health care reform

“To call this moment humbling doesn’t capture it,” said Bobby Mukkamala, MD, an otolaryngologist and the AMA’s newly inaugurated 180th president. “It’s moving. It’s awe-inspiring.”

For many in attendance at the AMA presidential inauguration in Chicago tonight, that inspiration was reciprocal. Last November, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam revealed an 8-cm temporal lobe tumor on the left side of Dr. Mukkamala’s brain. Three weeks after the startling discovery, the 53-year-old father of two underwent surgery.

The removal of 90% of the tumor was a best-case scenario for Dr. Mukkamala. During his decades working in organized medicine, Dr. Mukkamala has been a fierce advocate for patients. His cancer battle reaffirmed the purpose of his position—to use his platform and lived experience to advocate for a better, more equitable U.S. health system.

Dr. Mukkamala went to highlight that he, without question, benefited from the best possible treatment. But for many patients, the process of getting care comes with far more troubling questions than reassuring answers: whether insurance will cover a procedure, how much a medication costs or how long they will wait to see a specialist for something as serious as a lump in their neck.

“Our health system needs the input of many skilled physicians—physician leaders across every state and specialty—who are working together with incredible purpose and urgency,” he said. “It needs the AMA more than ever, with leaders in our profession speaking with one firm and commanding voice.”

Read more about where Dr. Mukkamala's focus will lie during his tenure as the AMA's president.

More awareness, education needed on ultraprocessed foods

The AMA has adopted new policy aimed at promoting public awareness and education about the differences between unhealthful, ultraprocessed foods and healthful foods, as well as the benefits of minimally processed and unprocessed foods. As part of this effort, the policy encourages the integration of nutrition education into all levels of medical education to empower physicians to best counsel patients on reducing unhealthful consumption of ultraprocessed foods.

“More and more people are regularly consuming ultraprocessed foods because they are inexpensive, readily available and manufactured to taste good,” said AMA Trustee Lynn Jeffers, MD, MBA. “Many people don’t know that these foods are loaded with sugar, salt and other unnatural ingredients that enhance taste but offer little to no nutritional value and can be detrimental to their health.

“It’s important that we not only ensure that the public is aware of the health risks associated with ultraprocessed foods, but also make sure they’re familiar with healthier food options and the benefits of minimally processed and whole foods,” said Dr. Jeffers, a plastic surgeon.

Read more about the AMA’s new policy on ultraprocessed foods, as well as delegates’ action to support warning labels on alcohol products.

Willie Underwood III, MD, wins office of AMA president-elect

Willie Underwood III, MD, MSc, MPH, a urological surgeon from Buffalo, New York, won the office of president-elect of the AMA today. He was voted into office Tuesday by physician and medical student delegates gathered at the 2025 AMA Annual Meeting in Chicago. Following a year-long term as president-elect, Dr. Underwood will be inaugurated as AMA president in June 2026.

“It is an incredible honor to be chosen by my peers to represent physicians and the patients we serve at this critical moment for health care and medicine,” Dr. Underwood said in a statement. “The AMA is leading the way in fighting for a rational Medicare payment system, to rein in prior authorization, and reduce physician burnout. I will stand up to advocate for our profession in a way that will inspire, motivate, and activate physicians to join the AMA in our efforts to improve the health of our nation.”

Dr. Underwood has more than 25 years of experience in urologic surgery, including more than 15 years in robotic urologic surgery. He was elected to the AMA Board of Trustees in June 2019, chaired the AMA Board of Trustees from 2023 to 2024, and previously chaired the AMA Resident and Fellow Section.

Learn about the other AMA member physicians who were elected during the Annual Meeting by the House of Delegates.

Dr. Underwood was all smiles this morning after his election victory was announced.

Give residents the tools to advocate physician-led care teams

To help strengthen the AMA’s fight against scope of practice expansions that threaten patient safety, the House of Delegates has adopted policy encouraging graduate medical education (GME) programs to promote opportunities for residents and trainees to engage in advocacy for physician-led care. Delegates also directed the AMA to expand educational resources, toolkits and workshops that residency programs can use to teach medical trainees about physician-led care and prepare them to engage effectively with policymakers.

“Physicians are uniquely qualified to lead patient care and ensure decisions are made with the highest level of expertise,” said AMA Trustee Melissa J. Garretson, a pediatrician. “Residents are the future of the medical profession. It is vital they are equipped with the knowledge and skills to inform and educate lawmakers on the importance of physician-led teams, so that patients can receive the safest, highest-quality care.”

Already in 2025, the AMA has worked with state medical associations and specialty societies to help defeat more than 50 bills nationwide that would have inappropriately expanded nonphysicians’ scope of practice and undermined the physician-led care team. Patients deserve care led by physicians—the most highly educated, trained and skilled health care professionals, with 95% of patients surveyed saying they want physicians to be involved in their diagnosis and treatment.

The new policy builds on the AMA’s existing work to provide resources to residency programs through the AMA GME Competency Education Program, which delivers education to help institutions effectively meet common program requirements of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. The program provides an award-winning virtual experience, with quality education designed for residents on the go. It’s easy to use, saves time and cuts administrative burdens with simple reporting tools. Learn more.

The AMA is standing up for medical students. Here is how.

As part of its wide-ranging commitment to help medical students succeed in medical school, thrive when they become residents and flourish in practice, the AMA is taking action to address the pressures linked to standardized licensure exams and help unmatched residency applicants.

Preparation for the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE Step 1) and the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination (COMLEX-USA Level 1) is demanding and expensive and may be disrupted by personal crises or family tragedies, so flexibility in scheduling the exam is necessary to accurately reflect the student’s true performance.

“Medical trainees are required to pass demanding and expensive licensure exams during their training, where failure could end their medical career,” Dr. Garretson said. “Unforeseen events, such as a family tragedy or personal crisis, can significantly disrupt a trainee’s exam preparation. It’s essential that all stakeholders in graduate medical education work to remove barriers and offer support to trainees during this demanding process, so we can continue building a strong physician workforce.”

Learn about the new policy that delegates adopted on this issue, along with more support for unmatched medical school graduates and opposition to harmful proposal on student loans.

Get rid of redundant compliance training

Among the many administrative burdens that contribute to physician burnout and reduce the time physicians can spend with patients, one is especially exasperating to doctors because it is often entirely duplicative.

Doctors often see patients at several hospitals and health facilities. Each entity may require physicians to complete their version of legally mandated, annual compliance training, resulting in  “multiple, often redundant, annual compliance trainings across various health care facilities, resulting in undue burdens on their time and resources,” notes a resolution introduced by the Ohio delegation.

While compliance training covers legally required topics such as sexual harassment laws, redundant training can result in physicians spending “many hours annually on repetitive training sessions,” says the resolution. That time would be better used for seeing patients.

“Physicians face increasing administrative burdens that take time away from patient care,” Dr. Garretson said in a statement. “Lifelong learning is essential to maintaining high standards of patient care and professional conduct, but the system needs to be more efficient. Every minute matters—and streamlining these trainings will give physicians time back to do what matters most—caring for patients.”

Learn about the delegates’ action to cut this administrative burden, which is part of the AMA’s broader efforts to reduce physician burnout.

Statement from AMA board chair

The chair of the AMA Board of Trustees, Michael Suk, MD, MPH, JD, MBA, made comments from the floor of the House of Delegates today in which he spoke to the AMA’s commitment to advancing its mission to meet current challenges. Here are his remarks, as prepared for delivery.

“We gather here today during a time of deep political instability—when science, medicine, and public health are under relentless pressure. As the AMA Board of Trustees, we reaffirm our unwavering commitment to the principles that define us: evidence, ethics, and the sacred duty to heal.

“For over 178 years, the AMA has been the voice of American medicine. But let us be honest—we recognize that at times, we could have been more forceful. We could have spoken louder, earlier, and more publicly in the defense of science, the patient-physician relationship, and the integrity of our profession.

“To this House: we thank you. Your work, your policy, your persistent voice has held the line—and often led the way. Your leadership is not only valued; it is essential.

“We stand today to make it clear:

• We defend the integrity of medical education against politicization.
• We champion evidence-based care rooted in science, not sentiment.
• We reject disinformation and interference that undermines trust in medicine.
• We uphold our Code of Medical Ethics and the dignity of every patient and physician.

“To our residents and students: your courage and clarity are shaping the future. To every physician: your commitment to truth and care binds us together as healers.

“And to those who have spoken passionately this week and over the past few months—we hear you.

“The AMA Board of Trustees will assertively and publicly lead. We will ensure the policies of this House guide our advocacy. We will raise our voice, protect the truth, and lead medicine forward—with you.”

Dr. Suk delivered this message to AMA delegates Monday afternoon.

The AMA steps up its efforts to fix prior authorization

The time-wasting, care-delaying, shortsighted health plan cost-control process known as prior authorization is long overdue for major fixes. At its Annual Meeting in Chicago this week, the House of Delegates acted to strengthen the AMA’s fight to fix prior authorization by challenging insurance companies to eliminate care delays, patient harms and practice hassles.

Delegates took steps aimed at insurance company prior authorization practices. These included actions directing the AMA to:

• Oppose health insurance plan policies that require prior authorization for in-person visits with a physician.
• Advocate federal and state legislation that minimizes the impact of prior authorization requirements and payer-specific formulary tiering policies for medications during transitions or lapses in insurance coverage.
• Collaborate with relevant stakeholders to develop and promote best practices for implementing medication continuity policies across different insurance plans and health care systems.

Learn about the other steps the AMA is taking, including a database to document the harms of prior authorization.

Why AMA’s next president has new outlook

Ahead of the House of Delegates’ first day of voting, which starts today at 10 a.m. CDT, now is a good opportunity to get a preview of tomorrow night’s festivities when Flint, Michigan, otolaryngologist Bobby Mukkamala, MD, will be inaugurated as the AMA’s 180th president.

It was at the AMA’s last policymaking meeting, in November, that Dr. Mukkamala’s disturbing symptoms of expressive aphasia emerged during a brief address to one of the AMA’s sections.

While he was cleared during a visit to a local urgent-care center, an MRI back home in Flint revealed an 8-cm tumor on Dr. Mukkamala’s brain. Surgery to remove the tumor was successful, but the life-altering journey as a patient has only deepened Dr. Mukkamala’s commitment to fighting for health care policies that put patients and doctors first.

He reflected on his experience during a recent appearance on “AMA Update,” detailing how this life-threatening condition has reshaped his views on health care and how his experiences align with AMA priorities such as prior authorization reform and addressing physician shortages.

We are fighting for physicians

The AMA is fighting for your future, your patients, your well-being, your voice. 

We are physicians’ powerful ally, focused on addressing the issues important to you, so you can focus on what matters most—patients. 

Take a look at this video, shown during Friday night’s opening session. This is why we fight.

Catch up with the AMA’s advocacy efforts

How do we fix the health care system for patients and physicians? What policies does the AMA support? What's going to happen to Medicare?          

There few people as well positioned to offer up timely answers to these questions as Todd Askew, the AMA’s senior vice president of advocacy.

In an episode of “AMA Update” recorded on the floor of the House of Delegates ahead of the opening of the Annual Meeting, Askew weighed in on these and other hot topics such as the budget-reconciliation bill passed recently by the House of Representatives.

As the Senate takes up the legislation, Askew reviewed how the bill’s provisions would affect Medicare, Medicaid and medical student loans.

There is “a lot of work to do—a lot of challenges in moving the bill forward,” he said. “But it's a long process that will play out again over the next few weeks. And we're fully engaged. The physicians are fully engaged through the grassroots program. And we're hoping to see continued improvement in this bill as it moves forward.”

Is your health system on the list?

Efforts to alleviate administrative burdens and cultivate a healthier work-life balance lie at the heart of improving physician well-being. These initiatives, focused on reducing stress and bolstering mental health, are essential to creating a supportive environment where doctors can truly thrive. By embracing these changes, forward-thinking health systems reaffirm their commitment to helping physicians find joy and fulfillment in their work, transforming the health care experience for both patients and physicians.

Through their ongoing efforts to reduce physician burnout and enhance well-being, 62 health care organizations—representing more than 140,000 physicians—were honored last year by the AMA Joy in Medicine™ Health System Recognition Program. These organizations joined a strong cohort of 72 currently recognized health systems from 2023 that represent more than 230,000 physicians. 

This 2024 recognition represents the outstanding efforts these organizations have initiated to address the systemic causes of physician burnout in areas such as commitment, assessment, leadership, teamwork, peer support and practice-environment efficiency.

AMA president: Doctors must turn discontent into decisive action

In his final address to the House of Medicine, outgoing AMA president Bruce A. Scott, MD, who has taken the message of practicing physicians to America this year, called upon physicians to step up and unite to lead the charge to heal the country’s broken health system.

“Despite all the efforts of everyone in this room, and colleagues across the country, our health care system is failing in fundamental ways,” he said. “It's failing physicians and, more importantly, it’s failing our patients.

“I’m angry because physicians are bearing the brunt of a failed Medicare payment system,” he said. “And while our pay has been cut by 33% in 25 years, we see hospitals and even insurance companies receiving annual increases.

“I’m angry,” he added, “because earlier this year Medicare Advantage plans are rewarded with a scheduled increase while doctors suffer yet another cut—or, as one member in this House accurately said, a ‘gut punch to physicians.’”

Learn more about why Dr. Bruce Scott and other physicians are so frustrated with American health care policy, and how the AMA can help them fight for doctors.

Delegates meet new CEO John Whyte, MD, MPH

Following Dr. Madara’s remarks, Michael Suk, MD, JD, MPH, MBA, the chair of the AMA Board of Trustees, took the dais.

Dr. Suk led a national search that was undertaken by a committee composed of members of the House of Delegates and the AMA Board of Trustees to find a new CEO and executive vice president.

“I’m delighted to share with you that we have found that person,” Dr. Suk told the crowd.

“Dr. John Whyte is a nationally known physician executive, corporate strategist, public health advocate, and communication expert,” who brings, he noted, “extensive corporate, governmental and clinical experience to the role.”

Dr. Whyte ushers in a new era of leadership for the 178-year-old institution amid strong membership growth and a renewed focus on solving challenges that affect physicians and patients. Dr. Whyte began a transition period with the AMA June 2 and will assume the role of executive vice president and CEO on July 1.

“A board-certified internal medicine physician for nearly 30 years—and, notably, a longtime AMA member—Dr. Whyte joins the AMA from WebMD, where he served as its chief medical officer since 2018,” Dr. Suk said.

Dr. Whyte previously served in various roles at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the Department of Health and Human Services.

“He is a solid fit for the role at this pivotal moment for health care,” Dr. Suk told delegates, who applauded when Dr. Whyte stood and waved to the crowd. Watch the video.

“There is no shortage of issues facing physicians and patients today,” the AMA’s board chair added, “but we know Dr. Whyte’s extensive experience with health policy, digital media, new business development, government and clinical practice, as well as his years of engagement with the AMA, will serve him well and serve us well as we confront challenges and opportunities together.”

John Whyte, MD, MPH

Dr. Madara says goodbye to the AMA

In his final address to delegates at tonight’s opening session, outgoing AMA Executive Vice President and CEO James L. Madara, MD, offered reflections on his tenure and career that were in turn moving, humorous and loving.

After 14 years at the helm as CEO, Dr. Madara leaves the AMA in excellent financial shape and with more than 290,000 members—the highest level in 20 years. Membership grew by 33% during his tenure, reflecting the AMA’s ability to elevate the physician voice and tap into physician needs, as Dr. Madara explained during a recent Q&A with Chicago Medicine magazine.

Among other things, Dr. Madara shared some “simple principles” that have served him well during a lifetime in medicine, as a physician-scientist and executive:

• Always take the high road—seems subjective, but it’s usually clear.
• Don’t mistake a dropped ball by a colleague as a conspiracy.
• Life is too short—if you’re not having some fun, you aren’t in the right place.

Read Dr. Madara’s full speech for more insights. 

House of Delegates’ meeting starts today

About 700 physicians and medical students are gathering in Chicago for the 2025 AMA Annual Meeting to consider proposals across a wide range of clinical practice, payment, medical education and public health topics. The meeting opens runs through June 11.

The AMA House of Delegates will work in a democratic process to create a national physician consensus on emerging issues in public health, science, ethics, business and government to improve the care and public health of patients and communities. The policies adopted at this meeting will give the AMA direction and act as a driving force on the future of American medicine.

In doing so, the delegates will strengthen the AMA in its relentless advocacy role in fighting for physicians. 

The “June 2025 AMA Advocacy Impact Report” (PDF) details how the AMA is: 

• Leading the charge to reform the Medicare payment system.
• Fighting to fix prior authorization by challenging insurance companies to eliminate care delays, patient harms and practice hassles.
• Fighting scope creep, defending the practice of medicine against scope of practice expansions that threaten patient safety.
• Fighting to make technology work for physicians. From AI implementation to EHR adoption and usability, the AMA is working to ensure that tech is an asset to doctors—not a burden.
• Leading on physician well-being, reducing physician burnout by removing administrative burdens and providing real-world solutions to help doctors rediscover the Joy in Medicine™.

In a recent episode of “AMA Update,” outgoing AMA President Bruce A. Scott, MD, talked about how he has “really tried to focus my year on those issues that affect the practicing physician, the things that get in the way, if you will, of us taking care of patients.”

Dr. Scott noted that the AMA has “made advances on each and every one of these areas. We haven't been able to accomplish a complete Medicare fix. But we've moved the ball forward, and we've changed the conversation in Washington. We've been successful in 14 states in getting prior authorization reform change, and we're continuing to work on it on a national level.

“In over 40 states,” he added, “we've been able so far this year to fight back expansion of scope-of-practice bills. And we've seen improvement in the burnout level of physicians. It's come down two years in a row. And we think part of that is that we've been able to work successfully with the majority of state licensure boards and over 500 hospital-credentialing organizations to remove stigmatizing language. 

“And along that same lines, we have a record number of hospital systems applying for our Joy in Medicine program, where we recognize and reward hospital systems for reducing the stress that, unfortunately, has been driving the unacceptable physician burnout rates.”

Education sessions today
