Your Powerful Ally

The AMA is your powerful ally, focused on addressing the issues important to you, so you can focus on what matters most—patients. We will meet this challenge together.

The SPS Governing Council reviewed House of Delegates (HOD) resolutions and reports related to senior physician issues. The SPS Assembly meeting included a discussion of policy items relevant to senior physicians as well as senior patients.
