AMA Physician Masterfile - Student Outreach: Steps For Record Creation

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.

    “I heard a Californian student in Heidelberg say, in one of his calmest moods, that he would rather decline two drinks than one German adjective.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “And, beholding in many souls the traits of the divine beauty, and separating in each soul that which is divine from the taint which it has contracted in the world, the lover ascends to the highest beauty, to the love and knowledge of the Divinity, by steps on this ladder of created souls.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “We have what I would call educational genocide. I’m concerned about learning totally, but I’m immersed in the disastrous record of how many black kids are going into science. They are very few and far between. I’ve said that when I see more black students in the laboratories than I see on the football field, I’ll be happy.”
    —Jewel Plummer Cobb (b. 1924)

    “Since we are assured that the all-wise Creator has observed the most exact proportions of number, weight and measure in the make of all things, the most likely way therefore to get any insight into the nature of those parts of the Creation which come within our observation must in all reason be to number, weigh and measure.”
    —Stephen Hales (1677–1761)
