A new advocacy organization is launching today to give "every physician" a voice in decisions that affect their professional lives. But this group doesn't intend to use the top-down approach to decision making seen in many medical societies.
Ever since we set up the National Board of Physicians and Surgeons (NBPAS), I have been asked to start a physician "union." The COVID-19 pandemic amplified these requests. I have always resisted. NBPAS taught me that doctors have strong opinions but rarely agree.
