Members
The organizations participating in the Coalition for Physician Accountability each has a responsibility to address the opportunities and challenges contributing to the systems used to oversee the education, training and practice of physicians. While each of the organizations individually makes a unique and important contribution to the system of self-regulation, strengthening the public trust requires increasing levels of cross-organizational communication and cooperation, consistent with law. This is the rationale for creating the Coalition.
