Political Action, WSMA Commitment to
The WSMA is committed to the maintenance of a strong, active presence in
the governmental and legislative arenas. The WSMA is committed to a
legislative agenda advocating the medical profession as one in which the
priority is patient health and safety. The WSMA encourages physicians and
auxilians to support WAMPAC and participate in the entire political
process.
The WSMA further encourages specialty society representatives – either
through the already established Interspecialty Council or other mechanisms
that may be developed – to support a united medical front on political and
legislative issues. (GA Rpt G, '88) (Reaffirmed A-23)
