Stronger Together: Why We Need Your Help to Ensure HPM Has a Voice in the House of Medicine
Jacqueline M. Kocinski, MPP
Today’s rapidly changing healthcare landscape is characterized by unprecedented challenges for physicians and other healthcare providers. Dedicated clinicians are not only working to address health inequities, promote innovation, and reimagine education and training to guide the future of medicine but are doing so in the face of public health crises, interference in the patient-physician relationship, mounting administrative burden, and looming Medicare payment cuts. It’s no wonder that the healthcare workforce is contending with growing shortages and burnout. When facing challenges like these, you need all the help you can get. That is why AAHPM has been a proud partner of the American Medical Association (AMA) for 20 years.
