The Young Physicians Section (YPS) endorses candidates for AMA House of Delegates (HOD) elections. For elections occurring during the 2024 AMA Annual Meeting, the YPS has opted to hold virtual interviews by way of requesting written materials from candidates.
The YPS process for endorsing elected and appointed AMA officials is detailed in the sponsor and endorsement rules section (PDF) of the YPS Internal Operating Procedures.
The deadline for appointed positions is Feb. 2, 2024. Candidates need to submit to [email protected] a letter requesting YPS endorsement, their CV and a letter from their sponsoring organization.
The deadline for endorsement requests for elected positions is April 22, which marks seven days after the Board's official announcement of candidates.
Candidates need to submit to [email protected] a letter requesting YPS endorsement, their CV, a letter from their sponsoring organization and a questionnaire (DOCX). Candidates have the option to submit a high resolution photo.
