The AMA House of Delegates considered 171 reports and resolutions at the 2026 Interim Meeting on Nov. 6-10 in Orlando, FL. Indiana/ISMA submitted one resolution for the AMA HOD’s consideration at the 2026 Interim Meeting, per the directives of ISMA Resolution 25-63. Indiana’s resolution was assigned as Resolution 210 – Requiring Physician Oversight for Artificial Intelligence Tools, and Resolution 210 was assigned to and considered by Reference Committee B – Legislation prior to the HOD’s action on the resolution. Per Reference Committee B’s recommendations, and acknowledging that the AMA has several existing policies concerning the regulation of artificial intelligence (AI), the AMA HOD ultimately reaffirmed AMA policies H-480.931 and D-480.947 in lieu of Resolution 210. The reference committee’s rationale and recommendations are in the reference committee’s final, annotated report, which also notes the HOD’s action on the resolution.

All reference committees’ final, annotated reports, along with all other reports and materials from the meeting, are currently available on the AMA’s website.

ISMA Vice Speaker Tashera Perry, MD (delegate for Indiana) volunteered and served as a member of Reference Committee B – Legislation at the 2026 Interim Meeting.

ISMA Past President David Welsh, MD, and ISMA Commission on Legislation Chair Elizabeth Struble, MD, continued to represent Indiana in AMA leadership within the AMA’s Board of Trustees and the AMA’s Council on Legislation, respectively.

The 2026 Interim Meeting was Vidya Kora, MD, and Rhonda Sharp, MD’s final meeting as members of Indiana’s/ISMA’s delegation. Their sustained leadership contributions are greatly appreciated, and they will be missed.

The Interim Meeting is the second of two annual meetings of the AMA House of Delegates, and the business of the Interim Meeting is mainly focused on issues related to legislation and advocacy.

Members of the AMA’s Medical Student Section (MSS) and Resident Fellow Section (RFS) met in advance of the HOD’s main business meeting on Nov. 5. Indiana was well represented with 19 students and 3 residents in attendance.

Indiana/ISMA is a member of the Great Lakes States Coalition of the AMA HOD, which includes the delegations from Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio. 

The newly elected members of Indiana’s/ISMA’s delegation (elected at ISMA’s 2026 Annual Convention) will begin their terms on the delegation effective Jan. 1, and their first meeting as members of the delegation will be the AMA HOD’s 2027 Annual Meeting to be held June 11–16, 2027, in Chicago, IL.
