We Need Your Help Again — Urgent California Advocacy Issue: AB 890

from Source

We Need Your Help Again — Urgent California Advocacy Issue: AB 890 Source AB 890 has made it to the Senate Appropriations Committee, and will be heard TODAY. There is still time to contact the Senate Appropriations Committee about your opposition to AB 890. If it becomes law, it will allow NPs to practice completely independently of physicians in any location, in any specialty, governed only by the Board of Nursing. AAEM welcomes NPs and PAs working alongside us in the emergency department but believes that all emergency care should be led by a board certified/eligible emergency medicine physician. The AAEM position statement is found here for your review. Emergency medicine is particularly vulnerable to scope of practice infringement as more and more hospitals look to hire non-physician practitioners to replace physicians. Accordingly, no matter where you practice, WE NEED YOU to email, call and tweet the Senators on this committee to voice your opposition to this bill. We need your help NOW! LEARN MORE
