The Young Physicians Section (YPS) seeks to strengthen the value of AMA membership for young physicians by:

  • Enhancing young physician practice of medicine, including the transition into practice
  • Facilitating the participation of young physicians in policymaking and other activities of the AMA and the Federation of Medicine
  • Promoting young physician leadership throughout organized medicine

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.
