The official
role of the Section Council on Preventive
Medicine (SCPM), as with other section
councils of AMA, is to provide a caucus
for the specialty societies in related
areas, in this case those areas committed
to advancement of one or more of the
specialty areas of preventive medicine.
The SCPM is dedicated to help AMA
establish, promote, and implement
strengthened preventive medicine policies,
practices, and activities, and to
encourage and facilitate cooperation among
the SCPM’s component organizations and
other related organizations and
individuals interested in and committed to
the objectives of preventive medicine.
The
section council is governed by a set of Rules
and Operating Procedures
(bylaws). More specific rules of operation
and conduct of business for the SCPM are
outlined in the Modus
Operandi. Currently, there are
eight participating
organizations in the SCPM.
