2025 Advocacy Priorities
Where We Stand
The American College of Physicians supports the adoption of a national workforce policy that would help to ensure that the number and mix of physician specialties meets the health care needs of our population, including internal medicine specialists in primary and comprehensive care of adults and adolescents. We also support adequate payments for primary care services, lifting caps on Graduate Medical Education for specialties facing shortages, delivery system reforms, to encourage an increase in the supply of internal medicine physicians and other primary care physicians.
