Let My Doctor Practice is a movement founded by United Physicians and Surgeons of America (UPSA) to restore the voice of the doctor to the practice of medicine. We believe in the sanctity of the doctor-patient relationship, the autonomy to practice medicine without restraint imposed by overreaching government and corporate entities, and, above all, that patient care and safety should never be compromised. Together, we will unite our voices to restore the practice of medicine to those who actually practice medicine.

Held in beautiful Keystone, Colorado, many of our favorite speakers and doctors (including Dr. Beth Haynes, BRI Executive Director) will be convening to take decisive steps to restore commonsense to American healthcare. This is a conference you won't want to miss if your future as a healthcare professional and your patients are important to you.

Let your voice be heard at the Summit at the Summit: Conference and Interactive Webcast—A National Grand Rounds on the State of American Medicine July 20-26, 2015 in Keystone, Colorado.
