The Resident and Fellow Section (RFS) held its 2023 Interim Meeting on Friday, Nov. 10 in National Harbor, Maryland, with more than 100 residents and fellows representing 17 states and 16 specialty societies.
Reports & resolutions
The RFS Assembly considered one report and 13 resolutions prompting robust discussion on important issues affecting trainees such as pregnancy and parental leave, parity in mental health and substance use coverage, and transforming the USMLE Step 3 exam to alleviate financial burden, facilitate high-quality patient care, and promote well-being.
The section immediately transmitted two resolutions to the House of Delegates for consideration at its November 2023 Meeting. Learn more about these and other policies considered by the AMA House of Delegates.
