The instrument in play
State legislation, medical and pharmacy board rulemaking, and model policy
State Patient-Provider Protection
Engaging when state legislation, medical-board guidance, pharmacy-board policy, or other regulatory action may affect individualized care and independent clinical judgment.
What is at stake
The decision, in plain terms.
Who this affects
Patients whose access depends on which state they live in, and clinicians whose room to exercise judgment is set by a state board rather than by a federal agency.
Get involved

Physicians and researchers
Clinical experience is what makes a regulatory argument land. Tell us what you are seeing.
Patients and families
Access questions are not abstract. Your account of them is evidence.
Organizations
A small number of partners fund this work and sit in the working groups that shape it.
