ReplyDeleteThe American Medical Association has not represented most practicing physicians for years. The last I looked, only around 12% of physicians are members, and that number is inflated by student and resident members. Many of the older physicians who *are* members are in because of some requirement of employment or membership in another organization.
ReplyDeleteThe AMA is fine with this because they have become a very self-selected biased group. As people voted with their feet, those who remained gained greater power, which caused more people to leave, which made this self-selection snowball.
Of all of my colleagues, I only know three people who are members, and two are members out of necessity and hate it.
