When you join the American Medical Association, you’ll join the nation’s largest and most influential physician organization, representing the interests of physicians practicing in the United States. As an international medical graduate, you’ll have a voice through our International Medical Graduates Section on critical issues at the federal and state level, including:
In his inaugural address as AMA president, Bobby Mukkamala, MD, reflects on his personal and professional journey in medicine—as the child of immigrant parents from India, a private practice physician in Flint, Michigan, and brain cancer patient—to highlight the need for systemic changes in health care.
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.
It needs the AMA more than ever … leaders in our profession speaking with one firm and commanding voice.
