Young physicians from across the country discussed priority issues and worked on shaping AMA policy during this year’s AMA Young Physicians Section (YPS) meeting, held Nov. 6-8 in conjunction with the 2014 AMA Interim Meeting in Dallas.
After reviewing the AMA House of Delegates handbook, the AMA-YPS Assembly identified items of particular relevance to the section and developed testimony for reference committee hearings and on the House floor. Details of all AMA-YPS positions can be found on the AMA-YPS Web page.
The AMA-YPS C. Clayton Griffin, MD, Memorial Luncheon was based on the theme “Protect your online reputation.” The luncheon featured Ravi Goel, MD, former AMA-YPS chair and instructor at the Wills Eye Hospital. This informative session provided attendees with an opportunity to learn techniques to improve their online presence in light of various physician rating sites and the growth in social media use.
