AMA Delegates

ACNM is proud of its association with the American Medical Association (AMA) and believes that its affiliation with the AMA is an important initiative for the college. The ACNM supports (non-financial) its delegate and alternate delegate to the AMA and requires bi-yearly reporting (following the AMA meetings). ACNM encourages ACNM members to join the AMA, as the primary professional association addressing the overarching needs of the medical community.

ACNM appreciates the unique opportunity to have representation to the AMA House of Delegates and keeps the ACNM delegate fully informed on the policy position of the ACNM so that the delegate can properly represent the organization in the AMA House of Delegates. The AMA Delegate and Alternate Delegate have ex-officio positions on the ACNM Board of Directors to ensure continued communication.  ACNM requires its delegate to report on the actions taken by the AMA House of Delegates during the ACNM Board of Directors meeting. This activity takes place at least two times per year and is open to all members. ACNM further disseminates information to its overall membership on the actions taken by the AMA House of Delegates at each meeting through the inclusion of AMA information on the ACNM website, communications to the ACNM membership.
