The ACMS is a proud member of the following organizations:

Alliance of Specialty Medicine

The Alliance of Specialty Medicine is a coalition of national medical societies representing specialty physicians in the United States. This non-partisan group is dedicated to the development of sound federal health care policy that fosters patient access to the highest quality specialty care.

The ACMS has worked with the Alliance on a number of letters sent to legislators and media regarding issues that affect all medical specialties, including a recent Letter to the Editor of the New York Times regarding screening recommendations made by the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF).

The ACMS works with the NCSCP on a number of its initiatives, including content for its monthly newsletters and staff serving on the planning committee for the annual Don't Fry Day, which encourages summer sun safety on the Friday before Memorial Day. Learn more about NCSCP activity here.

PASS Coalition

The Public Access to SunScreens (PASS) Coalition is a group of public health organizations, dermatologists, sunscreen ingredient companies, and concerned citizens working collaboratively with the FDA, Congress, the White House, health providers, consumer organizations and stakeholders to establish a regulatory pathway for timely pre-market review of new, safe and effective sunscreen ingredients. As a Supporting Member and the only specialty physician organization in the coalition, the ACMS played a critical role in demonstrating the importance of making effective sunscreens available as part of a broader strategy to reduce the growth in skin cancer incidences. The Coalition helped introduce and pass the bipartisan Sunscreen Innovation Act, signed into law by President Obama in November 2014.
