2010 National Advocacy Conference A Success

Oklahoma was well represented at the recent AMA National Advocacy Conference, held March 1-3, 2010 in Washington, DC.  Representing the OSMA was K.A. Mehta, MD, OSMA President-Elect; Dean Drooby, MD, Chair of OSMA’s Governmental Activities Council; and George Caldwell, MD, Vice-Chair of OSMA’s Governmental Activities Council.  Also in attendance from Oklahoma were Mary Anne McCaffree, MD, AMA Board member; Robert McCaffree, MD, OSMA Secretary-Treasurer, and Larry Bookman, MD, 2010 President of Oklahoma County Medical Society.  OSMA Executive Director Ken King and Associate Executive Director Kathy Musson also attended the conference.  

The conference provided leaders of the medical community from around the country the opportunity to gather and receive the latest information on various political and advocacy issues of interest to physicians and patients. Again this year, the conference focused on the main legislative issues for physician and patients regarding Medicare Reimbursement issues, Medical Liability Reform and overall health care reform.
