In announcing this year’s CAPtivating Causes, CAP is especially interested in hearing about what our members are doing in their own local communities to advance health equity among those who do not have access to traditional avenues of medical care.

Meet Sarah E. Scher, Chief Executive Officer of CAP. Physician Today spoke with her recently to find out more about why an organization like CAP can be such a huge benefit to the state’s physicians, especially now during these uncertain times.

During the COVID-19 health crisis, CAP understands the challenges endured by our members are like no other in our lifetimes. Last month, we announced the return of $4.7 million to CAP members of record on April 15 who have made full or installment payments on the assessment levied on November 14, 2019.

As communities and nations work together to confront the COVID-19 pandemic, it is incumbent upon medical professionals to stay abreast of ever-changing information. To this end, CAP has created an online information center to help.

If Physician Assistants (PAs) — a type of advance  practice professional — are part of your practice, then  you need to know that the rules and regulations for  the supervision of PA’s were recently changed. Senate  Bill No. 697, Physician Assistants: Practice Agreements:  Supervision, was signed on October 9, 2019 and took  effect on January 1, 2020.
