About AMAguides.com
AMAGuides.com was established by Brigham and Associates, Inc. with a commitment to enhancing health care, disability management, and claims systems — ensuring that decisions are well-informed, care is of exceptional quality, and the emphasis is consistently placed on functional outcomes. That commitment was pursued through a multifaceted approach: specialized consultation, keynote speaking, training programs, and educational writing. The consulting work was comprehensive, spanning meticulous case analysis to the refinement of overarching system processes. In every facet of that work, the highest standards were upheld, implementing best practices supported by evidence-based medicine and current national guidelines.
This site is now owned and operated by Workers' Compensation Educational Services, LLC, operators of WorkCompCollege.com. We are proud to carry forward the educational mission Dr. Brigham established here — continuing to deliver training programs and learning resources grounded in the same standards of rigor, integrity, and evidence-based practice that have always defined this body of work.
We would also like to clarify that this website, amaguides.com, along with Workers' Compensation Educational Services, LLC, functions independently from the American Medical Association® (AMA). The educational programs and resources offered here were developed by the original team at Brigham and Associates, Inc. and continue to be maintained and expanded under our stewardship; they do not carry the endorsement or sponsorship of the AMA®. The views and insights provided during training sessions and in learning materials are those of the respective presenters and should not be interpreted as reflecting the official opinions or medical policy positions of the AMA®.
Established in 1996
For over a quarter-century, this body of work has been dedicated to improving the ability to reliably assess and manage health and disability issues. That mission continues today under the stewardship of Workers' Compensation Educational Services, LLC.
Our Goal
The vision that has always guided this work — and that we proudly carry forward — is for all of us, including those who are injured and ill, to experience joyful, productive lives.
