Personal Statement

 

As physicians, we face enormous challenges in our rapidly changing healthcare system. Our profession is increasingly constrained and eroded in our ability to effectively do the best for our patients, our medical students, residents and our fellow physicians. As new leaders of our AMA, our challenge is to engage not only the AMA members, but also all our one million colleagues, to vigorously articulate the voice of our profession.  We must strive to regain our professional leadership and be at the forefront of reshaping our national health care agenda. As twenty-first century physicians, we need to rapidly adapt and innovate, with advancing technologies of medicine and delivery of personalized care. I am deeply optimistic that a strategically focused and more dynamic AMA can vigorously work for our physicians, students and patients, to greatly fortify and empower our profession in the future.

 

I will be honored to receive your partnership and support in this journey.

Dr. Soori for AMA Board of Trustees 2017
