U.S. medical societies belonging to the AMA Federation of Medicine are at different stages in advancing health equity, with 74% reporting they have taken at least one action to ground their efforts in local history and context. In contrast, 16% say they have taken action to identify opportunities for improvement. [AMA]

Those were key findings included in AMA Health Equity in Organized Medicine 2023 Survey Report: Insights, Solutions, and Resources to Take Action (PDF), which is based on the first-ever survey conducted of state medical associations, national medical specialty societies and county medical  organizations about health equity. 

The survey data collected helped provide insights on actions to advance health equity taken by these organizations, while identifying barriers and resources needed to take further action. The report is intended to effectively assess the collective progress made, build on learning and achievements, and identify where future action and attention are needed.
