2019 Annual Report of the Medical Society of the District of Columbia.
The annual report is a snapshot of the work done by the Medical Society on behalf of our member physicians and their patients in 2019. MSDC physician leaders have been scoring legislative victories and boosting the physician community and presence across DC and before the DC Council. All these things are for the purpose of making DC "the best place to practice medicine."

POLICY WINS FOR PHYSICIANS
  • Removed the 3-hour HIV/AIDS CME requirement for DC physician re-licensure-and fought others
  • Won funding to continue healthcare delivery in Wards 7 and 8
  • Waived prior auth in public plans for certain medication assisted treatements for patients with opioid use disorder
  • MSDC call to action on vaccines resulted in increased advocacy and press on the need for vaccines

BOOSTING PHYSICIAN COMMUNITY AND PRESENCE IN DC
To better serve member needs, foster physician community and leadership, and advance medicine, MSDC launched/expanded member groups and task forces:
PLAN (physician advocacy)
Physician wellbeing
Women in medicine
Bright Young Doctors (early career physicians and medical students)
Medical practice managers
Strategic planning
Unconscious bias
