Applications are due Feb. 28, 2026. Contact [email protected] for more information.
IMGS committees
Membership in these committees is open to any active IMGS member. Visit the committees page for details on the mission for each of the committees.
IMGS endorsement of Board of Trustees and council candidates
The International Medical Graduates Section (IMGS) Governing Council does not endorse candidates for the AMA Board of Trustees, councils or other AMA committees.
IMGs interested in applying for vacancies in external organizations can submit the application to the IMGS GC. The GC will provide a letter of support to applying candidates.
For positions that require approval from the AMA Board of Trustees, the governing council adheres to the procedures and guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.
For questions, contact IMGS at [email protected].
External organization committees
AMA members who are interested in other leadership roles in medicine may apply for Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Residency Review Committees and other positions.
Vacancy notices are posted annually. If you are interested in a position and meet the qualifications stated in the position description provided, you may apply for nomination by completing and submitting the required documentation by the application deadline.
Please note that, while the AMA Board of Trustees makes the nominations, it is the requesting organization that makes the final appointment.
Questions about the nominations process or vacancies may be directed to Mary Grandau at [email protected].
