  • Monitoring trends while identifying and addressing emerging professional issues affecting women in medicine
  • Enhancing AMA cooperation and collaboration with organizations with mutual concerns
  • Contributing to AMA advocacy on women’s health and women in medicine policy issues
  • Contributing to AMA efforts to increase the membership, participation and leadership of women in the AMA.
