The AMA believes that effective gun control measures are needed to prevent the extremely high numbers of intentional and unintentional injuries and deaths resulting from gun use. The AMA has consistently advocated strong gun control provisions. Given recent events, the public cry for action, and the shocking violence associated with guns, the AMA believes that these Senate provisions would greatly aid in protecting the health and safety of our citizens. He described AMA efforts to improve physician education and outlined current policy barriers to good pain care. A news release describing Dr Coble's testimony is available online.

Dr Baer, a 2-time Emmy winner, graduated from Harvard Medical School in 1996. In response to many requests from medical school graduates seeking unfilled positions in residency programs, the AMA has created a Web-based list of open residency and fellowship positions. The site will only include listings for programs that are not traditionally included in the National Residency Matching Program. Postings on the Open Residency Positions Web site include a short description of the position and the program, as provided by program officials, as well as contact information. The site also provides links to specialty societies that offer information on residency vacancies.
