Research shows that physicians consider their most toxic stressor is the struggle with work/family balance and its effect on home life. The AMA Alliance is an organization that has devoted resources to this subject. Alliance members help each other obtain the opportunities they want for the physician(s) in their family, reach work/life balance in their medical family, connect with each other when transitioning through practice changes and moving to a new state or community. Together, they comprise a link between medical families, a resource for finding work/life balance at every stage of the medical career, which is so crucial to physician well-being.
The AMA Alliance is a nationwide network of physician spouses and physicians, resident physicians, medical students and their spouses, organized in 40 states and represented by individual members in six others.

- Promote internet safety for children
