The legislative process directly impacts the medical profession. The 2002 medical-legal crisis brought painful awareness of how much our profession is affected by politics, how essential it is to be involved, and the price we pay when we let others dictate our future.
To make sure our voices are heard, SCMS physicians are politically involved on both the state and national level. On the national level, SCMS influence comes through the AMA and our representatives in the FMA’s delegation to the AMA. On the state level SCMS works closely on legislative and political issues with the FMA — which does an outstanding job in both arenas.
The following offers background on the legislative process, the SCMS role in that process, the forces working on behalf of SCMS, and how individual physicians can make a difference.
