Impact Report — Vol. 5, Issue 2
In a time of shifting health care policy, workforce challenges, and evolving public expectations, your Academy’s commitment to protecting and advancing our specialty has never been more critical.
From Congress to state legislatures, we’ve led focused efforts to advocate for fair payment policies and protections against inappropriate scope of practice expansions. At the same time, we’ve invested in elevating the visibility and value of our specialty among the public, positioning our members as trusted, essential leaders in health care. Additionally, we’ve expanded access to high-quality CME, delivered valuable member resources, and strengthened our community through targeted engagement, networking, and learning opportunities.
This issue of the AAD/A Impact Report highlights the measurable impact of these efforts and the collective strength we’ve built together.
