Our organizations, representing nearly 600,000 physicians and medical students, firmly believe the trusted relationship between a physician and their patient should never be jeopardized by the actions of policymakers, that physicians should not be criminalized or penalized for providing care and that medical standards of care and physician education training and education must remain evidence-based and free from political interference.

six major american medical organizations (the american academy of family physicians, the american academy of pediatrics, the american college of obstetricians and gynecologists, the american college of physicians, the american osteopathic association, and the american psychiatric association) released a joint statement condemning the infringement that the HHS’ “review” of trans healthcare is on the rights of patients.
