AMA To Launch U.S. Campaign To Rebuild ‘Trust In Medicine, Science’
Article excerpt
The American Medical Association is launching a nationwide campaign titled "Have You Asked Your Doctor?" to combat health misinformation and restore public confidence in medical and scientific institutions. The initiative reflects growing concern among physicians about declining trust in medicine, fueled by the spread of false health claims across social media and other channels. The campaign aims to position doctors as reliable sources of health information and encourage Americans to consult qualified medical professionals rather than rely on unvetted online sources. The AMA's effort signals a broader medical establishment response to erosion of institutional credibility on health matters.
