AMA Starts New Drive to Restore Confidence in Medicine

The American Medical Association plans a nationwide effort called “Have You Asked Your Doctor? ” to counter health myths and rebuild faith in medical science. The campaign will launch later this year, but the organization has not yet revealed its budget. Details are expected to follow in upcoming months. The push comes as vaccine doubt remains strong, partly because of earlier political leaders who questioned immunization policies. The AMA has already criticized changes to the vaccine schedule that doctors say endanger children, and it has challenged the federal agency for weakening preventive health guidance.In addition to vaccines, the group warns that new technologies like artificial intelligence can spread false medical claims if not carefully monitored. The association says it will act as a trusted ally for physicians navigating the evolving landscape of healthcare. According to its chief executive, technology is reshaping how care works while public trust in science faces growing challenges. The AMA hopes to give patients clearer information and help doctors maintain credibility in an era of rapid change.
