A few highlights from the 2026 AMA Annual Meeting #AMAmtg

In town for the #AMAmtg? Stop by the AMA Foundation booth for exclusive swag, an interactive touchscreen about program history, and a look at vintage pins from past Annual Meetings!

Every journey begins with a dream.

From her early years to this incredible moment, LDI participant Christina White's path to medicine reflects years of dedication, resilience, and purpose.

Congratulations to the class of 2026!

We appreciated the opportunity to join the Health Solutions team earlier this week at their Q2 Employee Engagement Day!

Their team continues to make a meaningful impact by supporting the Physicians of Tomorrow program and helping fund scholarships
