CMA’s Council on Legislation (COL) – comprised of more than 60 physicians from around the state – will meet next week in Sacramento to discuss the association’s legislative priorities for 2010. The council members, who are nominated to COL by their delegation, county medical society, or specialty society, meet annually to discuss and recommend CMA’s position on numerous pieces of legislation pertaining to the house of medicine. All CMA members are welcome to attend COL and voice their opinion.

Council members will also hear presentations from CMA senior staff on hot button heath care issues, including health information technology and prescription data mining.
