NATIONAL REACH. LOCAL IMPACT.
Protecting Physicians.
Strengthening Patient Care.
From coast to coast, physicians are facing growing challenges to independent medical judgment and patient-centered care. The United States Medical Association unites physicians across specialties and career stages to advocate for policies that strengthen the medical profession, protect the doctor-patient relationship, and ensure healthcare decisions are guided by clinical expertise.
The USMA was founded on a simple belief: the future of healthcare should be shaped by physicians.
Our leadership is made up of physicians who understand the realities of modern medical practice. Every initiative, position, and program is guided by the experience of those who care for patients every day and are committed to advancing the profession with integrity, professionalism, and evidence-based leadership.
Physician-Led.

Guided by Principles
The USMA's Ten Commandments serve as the foundation of our organization. They define our commitment to physician autonomy, ethical medical practice, professional accountability, and the preservation of the doctor-patient relationship.
These principles guide our advocacy, inform our priorities, and shape our vision for the future of American medicine.
