National Reach. Local Impact.

Protecting Physicians.
Strengthening Patient Care.

From coast to coast, physicians are facing growing challenges to independent medical judgment and patient-centered care. The United States Medical Association unites physicians across specialties and career stages to advocate for policies that strengthen the medical profession, protect the doctor-patient relationship, and ensure healthcare decisions are guided by clinical expertise.

Our Mission

Physician-Led.
Physician-Focused.

The USMA was founded on a simple belief: the future of healthcare should be shaped by physicians.

Our leadership is made up of physicians who understand the realities of modern medical practice. Every initiative, position, and program is guided by the experience of those who care for patients every day and are committed to advancing the profession with integrity, professionalism, and evidence-based leadership.

Our Mission

The Decalogue of Medical Ethics

Established to preserve the absolute integrity of the physician-patient relationship, holding clinical autonomy as a sacred mandate.

Guided by Principles.

The USMA's Ten Commandments serve as the foundation of modern clinical governance. Crafted in the classic tradition of formal manuscripts, this codex outlines the critical duties of physician-led organizations—asserting that medical decisions must remain solely in the hands of those who have taken the oath.

  • Absolute Physician Autonomy
  • Ethical & Scientific Integrity
  • Professional Accountability
  • Preservation of Doctor-Patient Bond
