Amid a full schedule of focused CME to help physicians lead in their practices and communities, the Texas Medical Association’s Leadership Summit will host American Medical Association (AMA) President-Elect Bruce Scott, MD, as he presents “Top Issues Impacting Medicine.”
Dr. Scott, an otolaryngologist in Kentucky, will headline the breakfast talk at 7:45 am Saturday, Jan. 27, opening the day’s programming. He’ll cover how AMA works to reform Medicare physician payment policies and preserve state scope-of-practice laws.
Dr. Scott also will participate in Saturday’s general session panel discussion “Generational Differences Among Leadership,” hosted by TMA’s Women Physicians Section.
Other must-see CME sessions feature some of TMA’s own leaders, including:
- “The Value of Legislative Relationship-Building” with TMA President-Elect Ray Callas, MD, and Jimmy Widmer, MD, a member of the Council on Legislation;
- A primer on organized medicine leadership with TMA Board Trustee Jayesh Shah, MD, and Jennifer Rushton, MD, a member of the Council on Health Care Quality and the Bexar County Board of Directors; and
- A mock House of Delegates session with TMA Speaker of the House Brad Holland, MD and Vice Speaker John Flores, MD.
