Beginning this year, the American Medical Association (AMA) with the support of the American College of Radiology (ACR) and more than 60 other medical specialty societies will begin conducting a multi-specialty survey of America's physician practices.

The purpose of the survey is to collect up-to-date information on characteristics of physician practices in order to develop and redefine AMA policy. Data related to professional practice expenses will also be collected. The AMA will survey thousands of physicians over the year from virtually all physician specialties to ensure accurate and fair representation for all physicians and their patients.

You may be contacted this year by the Gallup Organization to participate in this study. We encourage your participation in this survey, as the data obtained will be a critical source of information for the AMA and ACR.
Should you be called upon to contribute, your participation ensures that the information collected will represent you and your patients' concerns to national policymakers. Please watch for this survey and do your part by completing it in a thorough, accurate manner.
