The AMA is the official voice of the medical profession in Alberta. From health reform to health issues - with government, the public, other health providers - the association concerns itself with how Albertans receive care and with the physicians' work environment.
On the national level, the association is a division of the Canadian Medical Association. The AMA is distinct from, and cooperates with, the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta, which is the regulatory, licensing body for physicians.
