AMA Style

The American Medical Association (AMA) has its own manual of style for scholarly publication in medical and other scientific fields, the AMA Manual of Style: A Manual for Authors and Editors (11th edition, 2020).

At Piedmont University, some programs of the School of Health Sciences require students to use AMA style in their papers.

While your faculty will provide instruction on using AMA style, you can broaden your understanding with the excellent resources at the Purdue OWL.
