The American Medical Association (AMA) Physician Masterfile includes current and historical data on all physicians, including AMA members and nonmembers, and graduates of foreign medical schools who reside in the United States and who have met the educational and credentialing requirements necessary for recognition as physicians. 〔(AMA (Data Resources) AMA Physician Masterfile )〕 A Masterfile record is created and ME number assigned when entering medical school or through the ECFMG. For medical students, there are two primary methods to create the initial record - the Student Outreach Program and the annual freshman matriculation file received from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). The Physician Masterfile spans from undergraduate medical education through practice and comprise databases of * 125 LCME-accredited medical schools * 7,900 ACGME-accredited graduate medical education programs * 1,600 teaching institutions; 820,000 physicians; and 19,000 medical group practices. Physician records are never removed from the AMA Physician Masterfile, even in the case of a physician's death. ==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. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「AMA Physician Masterfile」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
