Supporting the Future of Medicine

AMPAC identifies and supports candidates for congressional offices who will make physicians and patients a top priority.

Who We Are

AMPAC is the bipartisan political action committee of the American Medical Association (AMA), striving to help more physicians get personally involved in politics. Membership contributions from AMPAC members entirely support congressional candidates who will help address the most pressing issues in medicine. These efforts serve as an important part of the AMA’s overall advocacy efforts because an AMPAC contribution to a candidate represents the support of thousands of physicians.
