(HealthNewsDigest.com) – The American Medical Association (AMA) will gather physician and medical student leaders from all corners of medicine at its Interim Meeting being held in Dallas to shape the health care agenda of the premier national physician organization in the country.
As the national organization whose reach and depth extends across all physicians, as well as policymakers, thought leaders and medical schools, the AMA is uniquely positioned to deliver results-focused strategies that enable physicians to answer a national imperative to measurably improve the health of the nation. For more than 165 years the AMA has been unwavering in its commitment to using its unique position and knowledge to shape a healthier future for America.
The Interim Meeting features the AMA House of Delegates, the policy-making body at the center of American medicine, which brings together an inclusive group of physicians, medical students and residents representing every state and medical field. Delegates will work in a democratic process to create a national physician consensus on emerging issues in public health, science, ethics, business and government to continually provide safer, higher quality and more efficient care for patients and communities. The policies adopted at this meeting not only give the AMA direction, but also act as a driving force on the future of American medicine.
Among the issues to be discussed at the AMA Interim Meeting include:
- Infection control for Ebola
- Veterans health care and plans to improve access
- Narrow network regulation to protect patient access to care
- Better privacy protections for patients insured as dependents
- Age limitations for the sale of e-cigarettes
For a comprehensive list of the items to be considered by the House of Delegates, please visit the AMA website.
