Fact-Checking Claims About Our American Medical Association Coverage

The New York Times's body of reporting on the American Medical Association's stance on gender-related care for minors is accurate and factual, and remains so despite the recent statement from the Chair of the A.M.A. Board, which contradicts the A.M.A.'s own statements.

The Times has received no requests to correct, clarify or update our articles from the A.M.A. After the board chair's comments, Times reporters alsoconfirmed with the A.M.A. spokesperson that the statements reflected in our previous reporting remain accurate in reflecting the association's stated positions. The board chair's claims are not based in fact, and are in contradiction to both the association's own statements provided to The Times.
