Something often overlooked when learning to write in American Medical Association (AMA) style is that AMA requires the use of abbreviations for common words, phrases, titles and journals, especially in the references list.

The following resource provides some common abbreviations you may use; however, there are hundreds of AMA abbreviations overall. To find a complete list, refer to pg. 555 of the AMA manual of style. (You can find one at the Writing & Speaking Center!)

These abbreviations should be used in bylines and when writing the full name of a person in the text. Degrees and certifications below the master’s level are usually not included unless they are the highest held credential by a contributor or author.
