We need rheumatologists to join the AMA. Having participated in your delegation for over a decade, I have seen major improvements in focus, prioritization of issues, transparency, collaboration and diversity in the AMA, and we need your help now to keep rheumatology’s seat at the table. You can help by renewing your membership in or joining the AMA. Call the AMA at 800-262-3211, and specify that you want to join or renew. We also need ACR members to specify the ACR as your specialty organization by “voting” for the ACR, which confirms for the AMA that you want to be counted toward rheumatology’s seat at the table.
Gary Bryant, MD, FACR, is chair of the ACR’s delegation to the AMA House of Delegates.
