President's Letter
Dear Members,
The 2023-24 annual membership renewal statements will be sent to all members next week. After five years of frozen AMA membership dues, the Board has decided to increase dues for some membership categories. This will help the AMA to continue providing support to members in these increasingly challenging times.
The categories affected appear below. You can check the AMA website if you are unsure of your own category.
- Insured Services (most AMA members: includes fee-for-service, ARPs and AMHSP): $2,100.00 ($154.86 increase)
- First year in practice: $1,260.00 ($92.99 increase)
- Administrative medicine: $840.00 ($62.02 increase)
- Supervised physician: $210.00 ($15.49 increase)
- Non-resident with benefits: $2,100.00 ($154.86 increase)
If you have any questions or require assistance, contact our Membership and Benefits department at:
- Email: membershipgeneral@albertadoctors.org
- T: 780-482-2626
- Toll-free 1-800-272-9680
I will write again soon, including a heads-up when a top-up to the one-time recognition payments (issued in December 2022) can be expected.
You are always welcome to share your thoughts with me. You can email me via president@albertadoctors.org. You can also comment on this letter on the AMA website.
Regards,
fred Rinaldi, MD, CCFP, FCFP, LLB, MBA, MPA(HSA), BCom
