AMWA Leaders Successful in Obtaining AMA Resolution Regarding Childcare

AMWA Past President Dr. Kim Templeton wrote an AMA resolution for a study of healthcare institutions that provide child care services on behalf of AMWA for the AMA annual meeting. AMWA recently received a letter from Drs. Barbe and Gurman, AMA president and immediate past president, respectively, indicating that AMA is conducting a comprehensive survey of women physicians from across the nation to collect information about various aspects of their practice, including access to workplace childcare services.  We plan to build on the important findings of this new study with other available research to provide a thorough and informative report at the 2018 Annual House of Delegates meeting.
