UPDATED | 1 Min Read

Young physicians from across the country addressed priority issues and worked on shaping American Medical Association policy during the 2025 AMA Young Physicians Section (YPS) Annual Assembly Meeting.

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.

Various YPS resolutions were considered at the 2025 House of Delegates Annual Meeting:

  • Resolution 014: Protecting Access to Emergency Abortion Care Under EMTALA
  • Resolution 233: Increasing Transparency of AMA Medicare Payment Reform Strategy
  • Resolution 236: Preservation of Medicaid
  • Resolution 520: Study of Grading Systems in AMA Board Reports
  • Resolution 717: Promoting Medication Continuity and Reducing Prior Authorization Burdens

During the YPS Assembly meeting, topics such as the patient-physician relationship, professionalism standards in training, Medicaid funding, women’s health care, and other pertinent public health topics were discussed. 

In addition, the YPS hosted an educational program titled, “Developing Leadership Skills as a Young Physician”, where Lynn Jeffers, MD, MBA, and Michael Suk, MD, JD, MPH, MBA, reflected on their leadership journeys and provided the Young Physicians Section with advice and strategies to develop their leadership skills for their own careers in medicine.
