The Organized Medical Staff Section (OMSS) offers its members various opportunities to be involved and advocate for patients and the profession.
Employed Physician Caucus elections
The Employed Physician Caucus advises and provides counsel to the OMSS and to AMA staff on policy matters that bear directly on employed physicians and their patients. The caucus focuses on developing strategies, educational programs and policies to better serve AMA members, potential members and patients who practice in an employed setting.
The 2025 OMSS Annual Meeting will include elections for the positions of chair and vice chair of the Employed Physician Caucus. Nominations open March 10, 2025, and are due May 7, 2025.
Interested candidates should submit a statement and CV, which will be posted on the AMA website. The election will take place June 7. Candidates must be present to accept their elected position. Please send CV and statement to omss@ama-assn.org.
Ideal candidates for the chair and vice chair should have been active in one of the previous Employed Physician Caucus meetings.
