Physicians head to Chicago for annual AMA meeting

Hundreds of doctors are heading to Chicago this weekend for the start of the American Medical Association's annual meeting.

Delegates to the nation's largest doctors' group meet once a year to vote on which public health and pocketbook issues to make official AMA policy.

This year's agenda includes measures on the dangers of anti-aging remedies, benefits of vitamin D and health reform.

President Barack Obama will address the meeting on Monday to explain why doctors should support his health reform efforts.

The five-day meeting starts Saturday at the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
