Founded in 1847, the American Medical Association is the largest and only national association convening more than 190 state and specialty medical societies and key healthcare stakeholders. The organization is guided by its longstanding mission to promote the art and science of medicine and the betterment of public health. As a powerful ally for physicians and patients, AMA represents the profession in courts and legislative bodies, works to remove barriers to patient care, leads efforts to prevent chronic disease and address public health crises, and drives innovation in medical education and training. The organization prioritizes employee wellbeing, diversity and professional growth, offering a comprehensive benefits package that includes four health insurance plans, two dental plans, comprehensive vision coverage, family care and caregiver leave, 401(k), short- and long-term disability, vacation and PTO. Its wellbeing program provides onsite fitness classes, massage, reading clubs, and other resources designed to support employees’ personal health goals. Professional development is embedded into the culture, with access to more than 6,000 online courses, executive and management coaching, structured career counseling, leadership skill series, and team-building workshops. Employee resource groups, clubs such as “AMA Active” and the “Green Team,” and an enterprise social responsibility program that supports volunteerism and community engagement further strengthen the collaborative, public health-driven workplace.
