About the Academic Physicians Section (APS)

Updated | 1 Min Read

The Academic Physicians Section (APS) is the home within the AMA for academic physicians, providing an opportunity to influence AMA policy, learn about topics of interest to academic physicians, and connect with peers across the country.

Your Powerful Ally

The AMA is your powerful ally, focused on addressing the issues important to you, so you can focus on what matters most—patients. We will meet this challenge together.
