The House of Delegates (HOD) includes well over 600 voting delegates (and a corresponding number of alternate delegates), all of whom are members of the AMA and who have been selected by the organization they represent, such as state or territorial medical associations, national medical specialty organizations, professional interest medical associations, the federal services and the AMA’s member sections. Some organizations are also allowed to officially observe the proceedings of the HOD, although they are not able to vote.
Announcements
The election materials for the current year will be available on the HOD's meeting web page 8 weeks prior to the meeting.
2020 delegate apportionment
Delegate apportionment for 2020 is based on year-end 2019 membership data, which for the purposes of apportionment includes "pending members," that is, physicians who were not members in 2019 but who paid dues in the 2019 calendar year for 2020 membership. The House of Delegates will seat 689 delegates at the 2020 Annual Meeting, June 6-10.
