A Message from the President THANK YOU again to all physician members of AAHPM who are also American Medical Association (AMA) members. Every 5 years, AMA looks to see how many of its physicians are members of both organizations, and in 2023 we were successful at meeting the 20% threshold required to retain our seat for the next 5 years at the AMA House of Delegates (HOD) and representation on the Advisory Committee to the AMA RVS Update Committee, which advises Medicare on relative value units—how our work is valued and reimbursed by Medicare. Clearly, having AMA representation is critical for us to influence health care at the national level and affects our day-to-day practice.
