AMA-RFS Standing Committee Application
The AMA Resident and Fellow Section (RFS) Standing Committees are appointed by the RFS Governing Council twice per year and help advance the Section’s mission, strategic priorities, advocacy efforts, and member engagement. Standing Committees are one of the best ways to get involved in the RFS, build leadership experience, contribute to policy and advocacy, and connect with physician trainees across specialties and regions. No prior AMA or committee experience is required. We invite all interested members to apply. The RFS strongly values diversity of training year, specialty, geographic location, practice environment, and lived experience. We especially encourage applications from individuals from historically marginalized and underrepresented communities in medicine.

Please continue with this application to submit your standing committee application.
