First - The AMA does not have anything to do with reporting a doctor regarding
conduct etc. The AMA is an organization, which allows doctors (if they choose so) to
become members of their (AMA) organization. The AMA then delivers medical data regarding the medical industry.
If you want to report a doctor regarding misconduct, the best thing to do is contact
your state medical board (http://www.mdnationwide.org/choose_a_doctor.htm) by
writing a detailed, nice, professional "Registered or Certified Letter" regarding your
situation.

∙ 11y agoEach state has a medical board. Go to your state's website, and you will find the email address where you can send your complaint.
If you prefer, you can hand-write your complaint and send it through the mail.
Make sure to include the physician's full name and practice address, and be sure to include the dates and as much information as possible.
The state will then review your complaint and will contact you to let you know if they will be investigating. Sometimes they will refer it to another agency or decide there was no wrongdoing.
After that it is out of your hands.

You are working on a report on vets and you need to know what they like what is the education and more?
I suggest checking out the American Veterinary Medical Association's website - www dot avma dot org. There is a lot of good information you could use for this report.
What does it mean if a DOCTOR winks at you?
Well it would have me concerned and I would make sure that I would not ask for that doctor again and possibly report that doctor. From the sounds of your question you did not enjoy it and were uncomfortable. Doctor's are there to help us in our time of need and believe me when I am ill I don't want to be flirted with. Let alone be undressed in front of some doctor that is a flirt! Furthermore it is improper conduct in the place where they work. It is one thing to meet people after hours and such. But physicians are not supposed to flirt and/or ask for personal information of their patients, period. It is against the American Medical Association guidelines. What I would do is look up the American Medical Association and contact them to complain of this doctor. As you don't know what this physician is possibly doing to other patients as well. Make sure what you saw is for real, as the American Medical Association can and will suspend him from practicing so you are taking the livelihood of this individual away and can take his licensing away from him as well. And they may want you to testify what happened and how it happened as well in any court. It is a form of sexual harassment and should not have been done in such a place.
Is a doctor obligated to report illegal drugs found in routine blood or urine test?
In most states, a doctor is NOT obligated to report illegal drug use as disclosed by the patient or drugs found through lab tests. The American Medical Association opposes mandatory drug reporting laws on the premise that it hurts the patient-physician relationship and breaches confidentiality.Also, routine blood and urine tests usually do not include drug screens, which must be specifically ordered.
What do you do when someone you have known in a professional manner starts saying little things like 'I love you' and 'If I wasn't married I would call you'?
You contact the professional organization that regulates people in that line of work and file a report. For example if it's a doctor, the American Medical Association. Tell him flat out to leave you alone because he's married and you don't date married men and if he doesn't stop THEN you'll report him!
How do you cite medical reports?
When citing a medical report, include the source of the report, such as the doctor's or organization's name. Include the subject of the report -- you can state briefly what it is about if it doesn't have a title -- and the date. You might also want to include the location where it is from.
What are the duties of a child abuse medical doctor?
That's not a specialty. Any doctor has to report what might be abuse. They are obligated like teachers.
What does it mean when your doctor says your medical report is unremarkable?
When a doctor says your medical report is unremarkable, it means that there are no significant findings or abnormalities noted in the report. It indicates that everything appears to be within normal limits based on the tests or evaluations that were conducted.
If you knew someone who gave a false police report and a Doctor was involved who altered medical records what should one do?
