Missouri's physicians will gather this April for the MSMA Annual Convention.

It’s an opportunity to:

• Connect with colleagues
• Discuss the future of Missouri medicine
• Learn about legislative priorities
• Earn continuing medical education

The future of physician-led health care in Missouri starts with conversations like these.

Learn more about attending at MSMA.org/Convention and from Rachel Bauer below!

Thank you to Missouri legislators who come from every corner of our state and who prioritize patient safety and physician-led care.

When policymakers and physicians collaborate, patients win.

We look forward to continued dialogue in Jefferson City.

Missouri physicians show up in force to protect patients from insurance companies abusing prior authorizations to delay and deny care!

Physicians are called to medicine to be their patients' strongest allies, advocates, and healers. They have the expertise and information needed to work with patients to make healthcare decisions that are best for them.

Insurance red tape needs to get out of the way of patient care!

Proud to have a room full of white coats supporting SB 897 right now in the Senate Insurance and Banking Committee

Missouri Physicians, join us at the Capitol today as we show lawmakers that doctors are passionate about creating positive change in our state, and that patient safety and the practice of medicine are top priorities.

Myth: All health care providers receive the same training.

Reality: Physicians complete 7–11+ years of education and 10,000+ clinical hours before independent practice.

Missouri patients deserve clarity about who is leading their care.
