I came across this organization recently. I think everyone should consider joining it.

Missouri has that already

I know... I am glad it's something other state legislatures are considering so we can put nurse practitioners out of business, though primary care physicians might take a small hit in salary.

Np are already saturating themselves

I just joined and would recommend others do as well. It's free for medical students.

If the AMA doesn't have the balls to lobby effectively we need to organize and get things done ourselves.

Joining this organization is a must.

Joining this organization is a must.

Only if you want to have a decent job for the rest of your career. haha

I’m just glad someone actually stepped up. They also keep your information private too.

This is from their twitter account.

Thanks for sharing this. I'm in for sure.

Also take a look at this: Scholarship Available!

It's from last year but i'm hoping to see more of the group's awareness on here

We need people advocating and promoting this stronger than midlevels are pushing for undeserved and dangerous autonomy

I accidentally tripped and found this organization myself, too. SDN should probably have some sort of ad about it because for how important they are right now, they’re pretty garbage about getting the word out. They need to get attention in politics if they want any traction and they’ve got under a year to do it.

Love it. It's about time someone had the balls to tell midlevels to go choke on a thick spicy one. Joining now.

Although I hope they aren't pushing for GME expansion because it kind of sounds like they might.

We need GME expansion instead of NPP expansion. That’s what they’d ideally have.

We got to do something before it’s too late.

No wonder they're pushing for increased scope of practice. They can't get hired to do what they were supposed to do anymore.

There is an upcoming event (March 30-31):

Seems like registration is free for medical students.

Calendar - Physicians for Patient Protection

www.physiciansforpatientprotection.org

"Join PPP as we talk to legislators in Washington, DC.

Monday March 30: Join us for dinner and some basic training on lobbying. Dinner will be at cost to you.

Tuesday March 31: Join us as we meet with legislators from YOUR state. We will provide you with materials and talking points, as well as a schedule. Topics to discuss will include the recent executive order regarding scope of practice and pay parity, GME funding, and the ACA requirement for NPs to make up more than 50% of the clinicians in rural health centers, as well as the rural pass-through issue.

Hotel information will be available soon!"

They should advertise this better than they are. Maybe we should spread the word on SDN and Reddit. People especially in the D.C. area should try and make it out there and see what it's all about. We should try to support an organization like this.
