Dr. Nancy Dickey (b. 1950) was the first woman to be elected president of the American Medical Association (AMA). When she took on the role, she was required to spend nearly 170 days of the year traveling the country and abroad on AMA business. As the mother of three, educator, and director of a family practice program, she has had to work hard to balance all her responsibilities, yet she still enjoys making time to see patients and keep up with the practice of medicine.
