	American Medical Association - MSN Encarta
		The AMA’s mission is to maintain high standards of medical education, provide scientific information to medical professionals and health-related information to the public, and develop programs to advance the practice of medicine and to serve the health needs of the public.
		Also in 1993 the AMA passed a resolution declaring that a physician’s participation in assisted suicide was “fundamentally inconsistent” with a physician’s professional role.
		The AMA was forced to rescind the deal after many of its members left in protest of the organization’s commercial interests and ethics.

	American Medical Association Summary
		To reach this goal, the AMA devotes much of its resources to gathering, synthesizing and distributing current information on health and the practice of medicine, to setting standards for medical ethics, to fostering medical education, and to serving as an advocate for physicians and patients.
		The AMA provides ethical guidance to physicians through its "Principals of Medical Ethics" and "Fundamental Elements of the Patient-Physician Relationship." In addition, the AMA's Code of Medical Ethics is regarded as the standard for professional conduct for physicians in the United States, both by the physicians themselves and by the courts.
		Critics of the American Medical Association, including economist Milton Friedman, have asserted that the organization acts as a government-sanctioned guild and has attempted to increase physicians' wages and fees limit by influencing limitations on the supply of physicians and non-physician competition [4] [5].

	American Medical Association -- Medical Marijuana ProCon.org

		AMA policy on such issues is decided through its democratic policy-making process, in the AMA House of Delegates, which meets twice a year.

	American Medical Association Speech, Scott Gottlieb, MD, June 12, 2006
		Principle among these is the medical journals, which grew out as organs of the established, independent medical professional societies for the explicit purpose of sharing and popularizing knowledge about best practices.
		The ability for medical organizations to self regulate their clinical standards is only as robust as the information they have on which to base those standards, and the partnerships they have to help embrace and promulgate them.
		The changes, which were made -- with a lot of input from medical organizations such as the AMA as well as individual clinicians -- are aimed at improving patient safety by making it easier for healthcare professionals to locate, read, and use prescribing information, thereby increasing the extent to which healthcare professionals rely on it.

		Our perspectives on medical education may differ in some respects but we're here because we all agree that making vitally- needed changes in our system of funding graduate medical education is long overdue.
		Back in December of 1995, AMA delegates and the AMA Board called for a process which asks that we join with other organizations to develop recommendations that could be a resource for the Administration and the Congress, as they consider this problem.

	American Medical Association - Advisory Opinion
		AMA proposes to make available to the public the data submitted to HCFA by the RUC, including the rationales for the recommendations and the vignettes and surveys used to generate the specialty society proposed values.
		AMA believes this information would help physicians better understand the service described by each code and would help private payers evaluate the Medicare RBRVS and adapt it to their own use.
		AMA staff have told us that they receive many calls from these groups asking for interpretation of what is included in the CPT codes.

	American Medical Association - Advisory Opinion
		In sum, while AMA and CMS have stated that their intent is not to establish a fee control program, the disciplinary system as currently described in the petition would give medical societies significant power to regulate the fees charged by their members, and little guidance as to how that power ought to be exercised.
		AMA and CMS, if they choose to adopt a disclosure requirement, should evaluate in the first instance what kinds of disclosures might be useful to patients without being unduly burdensome to the doctors.
		AMA proposes to publicize the fact that a physician has been disciplined, but not the amount of the fee in question, when the infraction giving rise to the discipline involved a fee matter.

	American Medical Association Information on Healthline
		The American Medical Association (AMA) was founded in 1847 to "promote the art and science of medicine and the betterment of public health." Since its beginning, the AMA has been dedicated to improving health and well-being through both clinical and community strategies.
		Today, the AMA provides leadership to organized medicine in public health areas such as preventive services for adolescents; tobacco control; prevention of alcohol use among youth; special care of the elderly—including health literacy; organ donation; training in end-of-life care; and both domestic and youth violence prevention.
		Thus, the AMA both represents and is responsive to the "house of medicine." Because of this relationship, the AMA works to build consensus among both medical societies and specialty societies as it promotes its public health agenda.

		It is evident the editors had a very large axe to grind when discussing medically induced death therapy that is applied to our unborn citizens.

		The American Medical Association's board maintains that the terms used in such questionnaires are often beyond the technical comprehension of a lay person and that no mechanism exists to ensure that the questions have been answered correctly or to confirm the history by physical examination.
		Insistence on the importance of physical examination between doctor and patient is one of the keystones of the report, but it does recognise that this might sometimes be unnecessary.
		The report urged state medical boards and societies to investigate local doctors who breach its guidelines, and it stated that efforts will continue to develop model legislation to regulate internet prescribing.

	AMA policy on circumcision analysed
		This policy was prepared by the AMA's Council on Scientific Affairs, not its Committee on Ethical and Judicial Affairs.
		The medical benefits suggested to accrue from circumcision are reduced incidence of urinary tract infection in infant males, decreased incidence of penile cancer in adult males, and possibly decreased susceptibility to certain sexually transmissible diseases, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
		The AMA supports the general principles of the 1999 Circumcision Policy Statement of the American Academy of Pediatrics, which reads as follows: Existing scientific evidence demonstrates potential medical benefits of newborn male circumcision; however, these data are not sufficient to recommend routine neonatal circumcision.
