While other states are stripping away people’s rights, we’re taking action to defend fundamental freedoms.
If you live in a state restricting your freedom to authentically live your life and make decisions for your own body, I have three words for you: come to Michigan!
In 2011, the ACGME limited consecutive work hours to 16 at a time. There was a 63% reduced risk in reported medical errors resulting in patient death.
The ACGME has since reversed this rule.

Take home: letters from mental health professionals do not make gender affirming hormones safer or improve mental health! and they have negative consequences.
