Electronic Submission
We are pleased to announce a new online system for the AMA Educators' conferences. This new system allows you to submit papers or special session proposals, volunteer to be a reviewer, chair or discussant, check the status of papers, etc. The centralized system eliminates the increasing difficulties associated with email-based systems and reduces the repetitive efforts of all participants.
The link for the system for this conference is:
