AMA starts search for the best new ideas to create a healthier nation

The American Medical Association (AMA) today announced it is offering prizes totaling $50,000 to help physicians and medical students bring their cutting-edge health care ideas to reality with the launch of the AMA Healthier Nation Innovation Challenge.

“New ideas for better care emerge every day from physicians and medical students on the front lines of medicine,” said AMA President Steven J. Stack, M.D. “The AMA wants to support these health care innovators and help them succeed in moving their new ideas from the concept phase into day-to-day practice.”
