Submit an article to AMA Section News
All AMA sections (via their section presidents or representatives) may make submissions to AMA Section News by emailing AMA Section Services.
Examples of typical submission topics include:
- Practice information (new policies, procedures)
- Governance announcements, developments
- Reports on past meetings, conferences and other events or announcements of upcoming meetings, conferences and events
Per standard format for e-newsletters, articles should be a maximum of 200 words in length
To enable the reader to find out more about subjects, e-newsletter articles commonly include hyperlinks to website pages or other newsletters, articles, contact emails, etc.
Articles may be edited (by the AMA Section News editor) for compliance with the AMA writing style guide and other elements/factors that contribute to engaging electronic content.
Common web writing standards include:
- Brief, engaging copy.
- Avoid over-use of acronyms, colloquialisms and jargon
- Begin your article by clearly and concisely identifying the information that is most relevant and of the greatest benefit to your reader. Follow with more details.
- The use of sub-heads (sub-titles), bulleted lists and bolded words are common techniques in e-newsletters, acting as "alerts" to the reader who may be quickly scanning the e-newsletter.
Submissions may include related graphic images. Please provide an .eps file, if available; .jpeg and .png files should be at least 300 x 300 pixels, to allow for cropping.
AMA Section Services emails section presidents (or their representatives) once a month, to remind them of the submission deadline for the upcoming edition of AMA Section News.
Email your section's submission to: AMA Section Services
