I need to know the signifiance of whether a doctor is a member of the AMA or not. What exactly does this organization do and what does their membership mean. Any info would be helpful. I am researching a physicain who is a nonmember.

AMA membership / nonmembership
The best place to start would be the AMA's own website. There the significance of being a member versus nonmember are explained, as well as their bylaws, etc.

membership
In my opinion, no. It's not worth the outrageous price.
PWP membership
My wife and I both belonged to chapters in the Central Indiana Regional Conference. It is a good organization of mostly good people who , like yourself found themselves in the situation of single parenthood. This is a great suport group, and the only one I've found that caters to kids.

membership
I had considered it some time ago but having seen them become so devoted to offshore MT's in India, I also agree that they are not worth being a part of let alone me sending them money for membership so they can turn around and sponsor above mentioned overseas MT's training on my dime...
Well, the MT membership is
free the first year and if we don't like it, we don't have to join next year, right? I don't blame you for being skeptical, but since there's no cost, I can "afford" to give this org the benefit of the doubt. 
I do agree we need an org for only MTs, that way we aren't being sold out.
membership sold
Yes, AAMT does sell membership list with your info -- I asked. Is one of their main sources of revenue. Then I asked to be removed from the list they sell and the calls became less frequent. Then I didn't renew.... ha.
and this is what the 'regular' membership is - sm

It's not any cheaper after paying for membership.

I dropped my membership after 13 years.
Not just for MTs. Membership is open to all transcriptionists.
This includes general transcriptionists, legal transcriptionists, etc. I did sign up because it was free for now. I am curious to see where this goes.
opting out of that is part of the membership application.
THEIR pro wages paid with membership fees.

They have to make money somehow since they have declining membership dues. nm
