AMA Opens Registration for 2026 National Advocacy Conference

• ASCP Recommends its Physician Members Join the AMA 

ASCP, a proud partner of the American Medical Association (AMA), is encouraging its physician members to join the AMA as well. ASCP has a storied history of working in concert with the AMA on issues facing patient care and physician practices. Indeed, ASCP long time member Ed Donoghue, MD, MASCP, was recently honored by the AMA’s Pathology Section Council for his tenure as Vice Chair and his 25 years of service as an ASCP AMA delegate. 

As part of our encouragement to join AMA, ASCP notes that the AMA has just opened registration for its 2026 National Advocacy Conference, which will be held Feb. 23-25 at the Grand Hyatt in Washington, D.C. The event will bring hundreds of physician advocates together for the purpose of enhancing organized medicine’s advocacy voice on critical healthcare issues affecting physicians and patients. You can view highlights from last year’s meeting and see the preliminary agenda for this year’s meeting, here and here, respectively. If you do join AMA, please note your ASCP membership in your AMA application.
