Track the news and other key moments from the AMA House of Delegates’ meeting in Orlando, Florida. The 2024 AMA Interim Meeting—known as I24, for short—runs Nov. 8–12.
Friday, Nov. 8
House of Delegates’ meeting starts today
About 700 physicians and medical students are gathering in Orlando, Florida, for the 2024 AMA Interim Meeting to consider proposals across a wide range of clinical practice, payment, medical education and public health topics. The meeting runs through Nov. 12.
The AMA House of Delegates will work in a democratic process to create a national physician consensus on emerging issues in public health, science, ethics, business and government to improve the care and public health of patients and communities. The policies adopted at this meeting will give the AMA direction and act as a driving force on the future of American medicine.
In doing so, the delegates will strengthen the AMA in its relentless advocacy role in fighting for physicians.
The “AMA Advocacy Impact Report 2024” (PDF) details how the AMA is:
- Leading the charge to reform the Medicare payment system.
- Fighting to fix prior authorization by challenging insurance companies to eliminate care delays, patient harms and practice hassles.
- Fighting scope creep, defending the practice of medicine against scope of practice expansions that threaten patient safety.
- Fighting to make technology work for physicians. From AI implementation to EHR adoption and usability, the AMA is working to ensure that tech is an asset to doctors—not a burden.
- Leading on physician well-being, reducing physician burnout by removing administrative burdens and providing real-world solutions to help doctors rediscover the Joy in Medicine™.
In a recent episode of “AMA Update,” Jason Marino—the AMA’s director of congressional affairs—detailed a recently introduced bipartisan bill to give physicians a 4.7% Medicare pay update for 2025. Take action now and tell your representatives in Congress to cosponsor the Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act (H.R. 10073).
