Thanks to its active membership and experienced delegation of representatives to the American Medical Association (AMA), the ACR has significant influence on the direction the AMA and the broader House of Medicine take on key issues. The ACR’s active delegation at AMA House of Delegates (HOD) meetings includes representatives to the Young Physician Section of the AMA HOD.
The ACR’s delegation will be Interviewing future prospective young physician representatives during ACR Convergence 2024 in Washington, D.C., taking place Nov. 14–19. (Registration for ACR Convergence 2024 is open).
Prospective representatives would potentially join the ACR’s delegation at future meetings of the HOD and attend the Young Physician Section (joining one or two HOD meetings each year, held in June and November). During these meetings, the ACR’s delegates advance issues and positions important to rheumatology, deliberate issues affecting healthcare and vote on the positions and direction the AMA will take.
Prospective candidates must be:
- Under the age of 40 or within the first eight years of practice after residency and fellowship training programs by the time the position commences;
- A member in good standing with the ACR and AMA; and
- Willing to work with the ACR delegates and staff and communicate back to the membership and leadership of the ACR.
To apply, submit a statement of interest and CV to [email protected] by Sept. 30. Select applicants will be invited to conduct a brief interview during ACR Convergence 2024.
