Vanessa Caceres  |  October 2, 2020

“As we continue to navigate this public health emergency, so many of the policies set forth have a direct impact on how our members practice medicine. Attending this session will help them understand the connection between regulatory policies and their everyday practice,” Ms. Wiegrefe says.
