I was delighted to offer testimony this week on the future of healthcare and the systems that support patient care. Moments like these remind me why the physician voice remains essential in shaping policy that truly reflects the realities of clinical practice.
As members of the AMA Ophthalmology Section Council, we work every day to protect sight, empower lives, and move medicine forward. The clinician experience adds depth and credibility to our advocacy — ensuring that the policies we support strengthen patient care, reduce burdens on physicians, and advance equitable access to sight-saving treatments.
Standing at the microphone beside colleagues from across the House of Medicine is always energizing. Together, we are building a future where innovation, patient-centered care, and physician leadership remain at the core of American healthcare.
