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.

“The student of Nature wonders the more and is astonished the less, the more conversant he becomes with her operations; but of all the perennial miracles she offers to his inspection, perhaps the most worthy of admiration is the development of a plant or of an animal from its embryo.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“Freedom of religion, freedom of the press, and freedom of person under the protection of habeas corpus, and trial by juries impartially selected. These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us, and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“A wellborn mind that is practiced in dealing with people makes itself thoroughly agreeable by itself. Art is nothing else but the list and record of the productions of such minds.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“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)
