Your Future Is Our Cause

At Physicians for Patient Protection, we’re safeguarding your future as a physician to be part physician-led care, just as much as your patients right to that standard of care.

The Reality You Need to Know

We get it – you’ve spent years busy learning to heal, diagnose, and care for patients.

Your time is limited and you’ve barely had bandwidth to think about life after residency or fellowship, let alone for understanding the powerful profit-driven forces reshaping healthcare.

Did you know nurse practitioners may practice independently without physician supervision in more than half of the country?

Are you aware that midlevels are trying to rebrand – physician assistants as “physician associates” and that nurse anesthetists as “nurse anesthesiologists,” while calling actual anesthesiologists “MDAs”?

You might be surprised to learn that many states do not have specific laws governing who may call themselves “doctor” in a healthcare setting or in advertising.

These changes threaten not only physician autonomy — but also patient safety and patient trust.

It’s up to you to carry on PPP’s mission to ensure physician-led care for all patients and advocate for truth and transparency regarding healthcare practitioners.
