As part of a physician organization committed to strengthening the ethics of medicine, every AMA member pledges to uphold the AMA Principles of Medical Ethics as interpreted in the Code of Medical Ethics, and to comply with the Bylaws of the AMA and the Rules of the AMA Council of Ethical and Judicial Affairs.
Applicants and Members are required to disclose to the AMA Office of General Counsel by mail at 515 North State Street, Chicago, IL 60654, or via Fax # (312) 464-5422, any violations of the Principles of Medical Ethics or illegal conduct. Additionally, the Health Care Quality Improvement Act requires professional societies (such as the AMA) to report certain professional review actions, including denial of membership, to the National Practitioner Data Bank.
