The Senate Health and Human Services Committee discussed SF 3298 recently, the scope of practice omnibus bill, which includes a provision that would change the statutory title of “physician assistant” to “physician associate.”

The MMA joined six specialty societies in opposing the legislation, highlighting that it would add confusion and could mislead patients. The MMA also argued that, in most professional settings, the term “associate” represents a peer or someone with equal training and responsibility.

The next MMA virtual physician forum will discuss new dietary guidelines with Donald Hensrud, MD, MS, from the Mayo Clinic, at noon on April 22.

This session, which will be moderated by MMA President Lisa Mattson, MD, will provide physicians with an up‑to‑date understanding of the latest dietary guidelines and the evidence behind them, while focusing on how to translate that science into meaningful, time‑efficient conversations with patients.

Physicians increasingly face questions about food, fads, and conflicting nutrition advice, yet many feel underprepared to address these topics in a way that is both evidence‑based and realistic for patients’ daily lives.
