Practice Transformation: Convene

By organizing virtual and in-person national conferences and events, the AMA brings together thought leaders and health systems for dialogue, consensus-building and collaborative sharing of best practices for improving physician professional satisfaction.

These immersive, educational opportunities are intended for physician and system leaders, practicing physicians and clinical staff, and academic researchers to assist in their transformation journey.

Practice redesign for workforce sustainability is crucial for quality improvement. But how and where to start? The AMA STEPS Forward® Saving Time: Practice Innovation boot camps are specifically designed for clinical and operational change agents looking to eliminate unnecessary work and free up more time to focus on what matters most—patient care.
