Recent reporting by Becker’s Hospital Review regarding HHS’ cancellation of AAP grants has renewed attention on the relationship between physician advocacy and public funding.
At the Academy of Medicine of Cincinnati, this moment underscores the importance of an independent, physician-led voice — a theme explored in our recent opinion piece on the growing pressures facing physicians and institutions who speak publicly on behalf of patient care.
We believe thoughtful, evidence-based perspectives from practicing physicians are essential to public trust and sound policy. If you are interested in contributing to future commentary, analysis, or editorial work, we urge you to consider joining the Academy’s Editorial Committee.
