It is through your efforts that the AMA is adding strength in numbers. Our goal in 2008 is to bring in 3,600 new members to the AMA. Get started now on 2008 recruiting!

New to the Outreach site:
The Leadership Awards are presented annually to medical students, residents/fellows, young physicians and established physicians. The program recognizes the contributions of bright and energetic individuals who show strong nonclinical leadership skills in advocacy, community service and/or education. The goal of the program is to help encourage leadership development and involvement in organized medicine. We are proud that two of our Physician Outreach Recruiters received this distinguished award.

The Leadership Awards were presented by Cathryn Clary, MD, MBA, Vice President, US External Medical Affairs, Pfizer, Inc. (left) and Nancy H. Nielsen, MD, MPH, AMA President-Elect (right).
