The Advocacy Champion for April is Magda Bushara, MBBS, FACP, an internal medicine physician at Park Nicollet Clinic and Specialty Center in St. Louis Park (pictured on the left with U.S. Rep. Kelly Morrison, MD, and MMA President Lisa Mattson, MD).

"I believe that achieving health equity and speaking up against injustices that lead to health disparities is an integral part of my role as a physician, and does not adversely affect any patient nor demographic," Bushara says. "To the contrary, 'we all do better when we all do better,' in the words of the late Paul Wellstone."

The Senate Health and Human Services Committee discussed SF 3298 recently, the scope of practice omnibus bill, which includes a provision that would change the statutory title of “physician assistant” to “physician associate.”

The MMA joined six specialty societies in opposing the legislation, highlighting that it would add confusion and could mislead patients. The MMA also argued that, in most professional settings, the term “associate” represents a peer or someone with equal training and responsibility.
