The AAMDSIF Patient Advisory Council (PAC) was created in 2008. Its purpose is to serve as a resource to the AAMDSIF staff in the development and review of patient education materials, programs and services.

Review by the PAC provides patients and their families with the full confidence that they are receiving the most accurate, reliable and up-to-date information from the Foundation.

How do I get my medical records from a doctor?

If you want a copy of your medical records, you  must submit a written request to the hospital or the doctor's office. The law requires that patients provide doctors with written authorization to disclose medical records or the information contained in them. Some hospitals have their own form that needs to be completed. Patients may receive copies of their medical records, however the originals must remain in the physician's or hospital's file.  Please consult with your physician's office for access to digital records.
