Student Outreach: Steps For Record Creation

The Student Outreach Program creates affiliate student records in a database specifically designed to support AMA membership recruitment activities. The record includes:

  1. student membership application is received
  2. information is entered into the Student Outreach Database using the student supplied SSN as the initial unique identifier
  3. SOD data loaded into the AMA Masterfile with status of "unverified"
    1. student affiliate membership status is assigned
    2. payment is processed
    3. record with corresponding ME number is created.
  4. primary source notification of enrollment in an LCME-accredited (Liaison Committee on Medical Education) program received through the AAMC freshman matriculation file.
  5. student affiliate records stored in the Masterfile are matched to AAMC records.
  6. matched record now contains both an ME number and SSN and has been verified by the primary source. # affiliate status is removed and a permanent unique record on the Masterfile is established.

"Unverified" affiliate student records are considered and use of the data is limited to providing membership benefits and membership payment processing.

The AMA Masterfile has been in use since 1906.

Famous quotes containing the words student, steps, record and/or creation:

    “Adolescents have the right to be themselves. The fact that you were the belle of the ball, the captain of the lacrosse team, the president of your senior class, Phi Beta Kappa, or a political activist doesn’t mean that your teenager will be or should be the same....Likewise, the fact that you were a wallflower, uncoordinated, and a C student shouldn’t mean that you push your child to be everything you were not.”
    —Laurence Steinberg (20th century)

    “Are you one who looks on? Or one who lends a hand?—Or one who looks away, steps aside? ... Third question of conscience.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Death is another milestone on their way.
    With laughter on their lips and with winds blowing round them
    They record simply
    How this one excelled all others in making driving belts.”
    —Stephen Spender (1909–1995)

    “She sings as the moon sings:
    “I am I, am I;
    The greater grows my lift
    The further that I fly.”
    All creation shivers
    With that sweet cry.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
