I have decided that it is time for us to fight for our livelihoods. I have had enough of listening to the gloating of childish characters such as
edieb. I will send an email to the Oregon state leadership and all of the Oregon state senators, in whose hands the future of psychiatry in Oregon and perhaps the rest of the country lies. We can't afford to lose this fight. I encourage all of you to send as many emails as you can outlining your concerns about allowing psychologists to prescribe and providing better suggestions for addressing the shortage of psychiatrists in underserved areas such as telepsychiatry, greater use of physician extenders such as NPs or PAs, or providing greater training in psychopharmacology for PCPs, or whatever other suggestions you can come up with. Below, I have included the names of the Oregon senate leadership, the names of all the senators, and a list of all the Oregon State Senators with their email addresses and other contact information.
Senate Leadership:
Senate President Peter Courtney - (D-Salem/Gervais/Woodburn)
Senate President Pro Tempore Senator Rick Metsger - (D-Welches)
Senate Majority Leader Senator Richard Devlin - (D-Tualatin)
Senate Republican Leader Senator Ted Ferrioli - (R-John Day)
