The AMA, with the support of APA and more than 60 other medical specialty
societies, is now conducting a survey on physician practices. The purpose of
the survey is to collect physician- and practice-level data that will be used
to better represent physicians' interests with Congress, the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services, and other decision makers that influence
health policy.
During 2007, you may be contacted by the Gallup organization to participate
in this survey. APA encourages your participation since the data obtained will
be a critical source of information on physician practice characteristics and
expenses to develop and redefine AMA and APA policy.
The 2007 survey replaces the AMA's Socioeconomic Monitoring System program.▪
