Legislative Committee MMA Co-Chair Podcast Debut and OMB Federal Grants Comment Period
I’ll leave the election news to the many other people covering the rapidly changing current events, and will report out once things have settled down! But I did want to share this podcast link to a Healthy Conversation on WGAN, co-hosted by Jeffrey Barkin, MD, and Lisa Belisle, MD, MPH. Patrick Connolly, MD, and Garrett Fontaine, MD, who are the MMA Co-chairs for the legislative committee, were the guests!

I also wanted to raise the urgency of submitting comments on the draft Office of Management and Budget (OMB) rules. Here is the link to the full letter from Lani Graham, MD, MPH, from last week about how to do it!
Finally, I wanted to share this resource from Maine DHHS about the upcoming federal changes. You will be hearing alot more from me on this topic, over the next few months, but I thought the flyers they included were a great start.
And here is your interesting article of the week: 4 top factors that drive physicians to give up clinical practice – “‘As the healthcare system works to further expand the physician pipeline by opening new medical schools and adding more residency slots, it’s worth asking whether we should also focus on supporting physicians who are already trained,’ Dr. Chen said.”
Best,
Anne
