| On Thursday, April 22 at 6:30 p.m. CST, all NAM members and TMA members are invited to hear from Dr. Niran Al-Agba and Dr. Rebekah Bernard, authors of the book "Patients at Risk: The Rise of the Nurse Practitioner and Physician Assistant in Healthcare."
While Scope of Practice battles continue every year, Tennessee physicians will find this meeting both timely and insightful.
| |
|
"Patients at Risk" exposes the ongoing political maneuverings and corporate agendas that lead to the replacement of qualified medical professionals by lesser-trained practitioners/extenders. Our guests will discuss actual cases they researched, and lessons they learned about improving public and political input on the subject. Pre-registration for this meeting is required, but attendance is free. Click here to register.
