The American congress of obstetricians and gynecologists and the american medical association: Common ground makes common sense

摘要

As I begin my year as President of the American Medical Association (AMA), I would like to extend my thanks and gratitude to so many of my American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) colleagues who have supported me through the years. It is an honor and privilege to be only the third Board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist (ob-gyn) to serve as AMA President in 168 years. Having "grown up" with both ACOG and AMA, I see many areas of synergy and reinforcement between these two important organizations. I intend to cultivate this common ground as much as possible during my year as AMA President.
