Today, #SCOTUS will hear arguments on #DACA. Eliminating DACA would upend our immigration system and reverse progress toward increased health equity and physician diversity. Our health care workforce is bolstered by the 27,000+ providers with DACA status. https://t.co/vnUSge2eUq

This month we launched our Young Physician Leadership Program at @BPTHOSP with 35 residents and hospitalists. Thank you to the @PhysiciansFound and CSMS members from Bridgeport Hospital who are sponsoring this program, and adviser Karen Hutchinson, MD & M. Natalie Achong, MD.

[CT State Med Society @CSMSNews]

CSMS fought hard to create this task force! We're thrilled our President-Elect, Gregory Shangold, MD, is part of this important effort to address the devastating impact high deductible health plans have on both patients and physicians. Thank you @MattLesser!

No one enjoys #SurpriseMedicalBills. @CSMSNews has responded strongly to support ways nationally that are fair to physicians and remove patients from be caught in the middle of this problem.

[Medical Society NY @MedSocietyNYS]

Everyone agrees #SurpriseMedicalBills must stop – how Congress acts will have a profound impact on patient care. Support the House of Representatives’ Ruiz-Roe policy framework https://t.co/phJBptWjYd #MSSNY

Find the full article on the Connecticut @CSMSNews web site for Connecticut Medicine Journal June/July 2019 issue. Worth a read for all physicians, even those not involved in academic medicine.

[Joe Cavallo @JCavallo972]

Funding for Graduate Medical Education in the US is heavily tied to the Medicare system. Any potential changes to Medicare could have significant implications on physician training and teaching hospitals.

[President of CSMS, AMA Alternate Delegate @csms_president]

Article everyone should read or has experienced. Came back from AMA HOD meeting with 4 prior authorization denies and 2 disability claim forms on my desk. Plus had to schedule a peer-to-peer and wait for a call back when the reviewer was available.
