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.
