About the Association for Independent Medicine
Our Mission: Protecting Independent MedicineThe Association for Independent Medicine (AIM) exists to ensure independent physicians and physician-led practices remain a strong and sustainable force in American healthcare. We believe that maintaining physician control of clinical decision-making leads to better outcomes for patients and more responsible stewardship of healthcare resources. A National Voice for Independent PhysiciansIndependent medicine is facing unprecedented pressure from healthcare consolidation, regulatory complexity, and private equity investment. AIM serves as a national independent physician association advocating for physician autonomy, practice sustainability, and coordinated engagement across specialties and states. | Less than half of patient-care physicians work for physician-owned practices. |
Building Collaboration Across Organizations
AIM works alongside physician groups, specialty societies, and advocacy organizations that share a commitment to independent, physician-led care. By fostering collaboration rather than competition, we strengthen the collective voice of independent medicine.
Our Approach
- Coordinated advocacy at state and national levels
- Strategic collaboration across independent physician organizations
- Education and leadership development
- Convening the annual Independent Physician Summit
