Practice Impact & Telehealth Survey
REMINDER:
WMS is working closely with state public health and state/federal elected officials as this pandemic persists. Understanding the impact you're seeing in your practice and knowing what resources are available statewide is critical in coordinating planning and response efforts. Please take a moment to complete this brief survey, designed in partnership with WyTN, regarding COVID-19 impact and telemedicine availability as soon as possible. De-identified results of this survey will be shared with U.S. Senator John Barrasso to support his efforts to identify relief and stimulus efforts to rural hospitals and practices. Please take a few moments to provide us your feedback so we have data to support the cause.

Thank you to the University of Wyoming and WyTN for your partnership in this endeavor.

Returning to Practice as Volunteers

As our healthcare systems are being tested to the limit during this unprecedented time, we remain focused on serving you as you provide care that is so desperately needed. If you are a retired member of The Doctors Company volunteering to care for patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, we will provide medical professional liability coverage to you—at no cost.
You qualify as a retired healthcare professional providing professional services for no fee, salary, or other compensation—with the exception of expenses incurred delivering those services.
Choose one of two options to activate your policy:


In addition, be assured that your decision to return to practice as a volunteer will have no impact on  your extended reporting period, or tail, coverage with us, nor on your Tribute Plan award .

If you have additional questions,  read this FAQ  or call TDC at  (800) 421-2368 .
Wyoming Needs Your Help
WMS is working with the State Board of Medicine to identify physicians who would be willing to help care for patients if the time came that our state might need you. Please consider submitting your name below to be added to a database of providers that we may need to call in if the situation worsens.

Wyoming is strong, our providers are strong, and sometimes strong means asking for help. Thank you for considering volunteering in this difficult time.
WMS 2020 Annual Meeting Cancellation
Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Wyoming Medical Society’s Executive Committee voted on March 25, 2020 to make the necessary decision to cancel WMS’s Annual Meeting. The meeting was scheduled for June 12-14, 2020, at the Jackson Lake Lodge in Moran, WY.

The first priority of WMS is protecting the health and safety of our healthcare work force and their patients. We have a responsibility to model social distancing to help slow the spread of this coronavirus.
