South Carolina Medical Associaton - Young Physicians Section

A Hot July Update From the AMA YPS - have a look!!!

Reach out and touch your AMA-YPS leaders
The AMA-YPS Governing Council seeks to facilitate greater interaction and communication between the section governing council and other AMA young physician members. To that end, there will be a conference call from noon to 1 p.m. (Central Daylight Time) during its Aug. 18 meeting in Chicago. Young physicians are encouraged to call in and discuss their concerns, AMA priorities and AMA-YPS projects at that time.

2) ASN 41st specialty society to join AMA-YPS
The American Society of Neuroimaging (ASN) has been approved for representation in the AMA-YPS Assembly, joining 40 other national medical specialty societies. The AMA-YPS encourages any specialty society to apply, as long as the society is represented in the AMA House of Delegates and can demonstrate a mechanism that allows for the regular input of young physicians into the society's policymaking body.

3) AMA-YPS report spotlights A-06 accomplishments
AMA-YPS delegates have prepared a report summarizing AMA-YPS accomplishments at the June AMA House of Delegates meeting. All three of its resolutions were positively acted on and the AMA Board of Trustees - in response to a prior AMA-YPS resolution - recommended the association push for a change in the tax code that would allow physicians to set up pre-tax savings accounts to use toward the purchase of tail coverage.
