AMA
Doctors' lobbying group
AMA is an initialism with several meanings depending on context.
In medicine, it stands for the American Medical Association, the largest professional organization of physicians in the United States.
Online, especially on Reddit, AMA means "ask me anything"—a format where someone invites questions from the public: I'm a firefighter. AMA.
In medical settings, leaving AMA means departing against medical advice.
