Home > What is AMPHL? .:
The Association of Medical Professionals With Hearing Losses, abbreviated as “AMPHL,” provides information, promotes advocacy and mentorship, and creates a network for individuals with hearing loss interested in or working in health care fields.
AMPHL was founded in 2000 by individuals who recognized the profound need to address issues surrounding their hearing loss as members of health care fields.
AMPHL allows deaf/hard of hearing health care professionals and students to give and receive support from each other regarding obstacles faced and solutions to those challenges.
AMPHL helps educate the colleagues and instructors of deaf/hard of hearing health care professionals and students.
Schools, training facilities, media, and other interested parties turn to AMPHL for information and ideas regarding deaf/hard of hearing health care professionals and students.
AMPHL started out with only two professions and has since grown to represent twelve
professions. New professions continue to be added when leaders for them emerge.
AMPHL does not have members; rather it has subscribers. Subscribers pay an annual $25.00 fee to obtain access to the AMPHL Forums message boards and AMPHL’s mentor list (sorted by
geographical location and professional specialty).
AMPHL is primarily website- based at www.amphl.org and has a Facebook page.
Approximately every 3 years, AMPHL holds a conference that allows for networking, idea
exchange, and socialization. Conference attendees greatly benefit from informative
presentations as well as experimenting with various technological devices including stethoscopes.
AMPHL representatives will sometimes participate in panels at other deaf/hard of hearing conferences or have informal gatherings at national health care meetings.
