Physicians for National Health Care training
Dear PNHP Members and Friends,

PNHP leaders are in great demand as speakers and commentators on reform. To help more PNHP members take the next step and become active, we have developed an intensive one-day training program that will give you the education, skills, and confidence you need to speak out.

Are you ready to appear on CNN to discuss the health care crisis?
Are you prepared to debate the President of the AMA on the need for national health insurance, and to articulate why health savings accounts and tax credits won't work? (PNHP co-founder Dr. Steffie Woolhandler is doing just that on March 19 in Arlington, VA).

If want to be active in the health care debate, but are intimidated by the amount of material and/or the powerful opposition, we would like to hear from you.

We have set the date for Saturday, May 7, at the Harvard Faculty Club in Cambridge. We are currently working on obtaining 8 hours of CME Category I credit for participants.

Details follow below. Please let me know right away if you are interested in this program; space is limited and previous trainings have filled quickly!


Yours truly,
Ida Hellander, MD for PNHP
