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:
- student membership application is received
- information is entered into the Student Outreach Database using the student supplied SSN as the initial unique identifier
- SOD data loaded into the AMA Masterfile with status of "unverified"
- student affiliate membership status is assigned
- payment is processed
- record with corresponding ME number is created.
- primary source notification of enrollment in an LCME-accredited (Liaison Committee on Medical Education) program received through the AAMC freshman matriculation file.
- student affiliate records stored in the Masterfile are matched to AAMC records.
- 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:
“It is clear that everybody interested in science must be interested in world 3 objects. A physical scientist, to start with, may be interested mainly in world 1 objects—say crystals and X-rays. But very soon he must realize how much depends on our interpretation of the facts, that is, on our theories, and so on world 3 objects. Similarly, a historian of science, or a philosopher interested in science must be largely a student of world 3 objects.”
—Karl Popper (1902–1994)
“I stand on top
of our back steps and breathe the rich air—
a mother skunk with her column of kittens swills the garbage pail.
She jabs her wedge-head in a cup
of sour cream, drops her ostrich tail,
and will not scare.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
“The business of a novelist is, in my opinion, to create characters first and foremost, and then to set them in the snarl of the human currents of his time, so that there results an accurate permanent record of a phase of human history.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“We should always remember that the work of art is invariably the creation of a new world, so that the first thing we should do is to study that new world as closely as possible, approaching it as something brand new, having no obvious connection with the worlds we already know. When this new world has been closely studied, then and only then let us examine its links with other worlds, other branches of knowledge.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
