ACR-Led Resolutions at AMA House of Delegates Meeting Protect Rheumatology Practices, Patient Access

From the College  |  November 9, 2021

The ACR’s delegation to the AMA House of Delegates consists of Gary Bryant, MD (Delegate and Delegation Chair), Eileen Moynihan, MD (Delegate), Cristina Arriens, MD (Alternate Delegate), Colin Edgerton, MD (Alternate Delegate), Luke Barre, MD (Young Physician Section representative), Christina Downey, MD (Young Physician Section representative), and Rami Diab, MD (Resident and Fellows Section representative). The ACR appreciates rheumatologists joining the AMA and renewing their AMA memberships so this work may continue. Input on the AMA delegation’s work on behalf of rheumatology can be directed to [email protected].

You Can Help

ACR members can help these efforts to advance rheumatology issues by joining the AMA and renewing their AMA memberships annually. Rheumatology’s voice in the House of Delegates meeting is determined by how many ACR members  are also AMA members, so every single person who is a member of both the ACR and the AMA adds to the strength of these efforts. Join or renew your AMA membership before the end of 2021 and receive membership benefits along with doing your part to help to advance rheumatology.
