Increase Rheumatology’s Voice in the AMA

From the College  |  Issue: October 2010  |  October 1, 2010

Rheumatology is also represented through state medical societies. Although the ACR has appointed delegates who represent the ACR at meetings, every member can help strengthen the voice of rheumatology in the AMA by getting involved in his or her state medical society. State medical societies have a strong presence in the AMA House of Delegates, and your active involvement within your state medical organization will increase visibility of rheumatology in the overall physician community.

What can you do to ensure ACR is well represented in the AMA?
