Implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 is underway and impending changes to the health care delivery system present new challenges and opportunities for physicians and their patients. The North Carolina Medical Society in its mission to provide Leadership in Medicine, has partneredwith News 14 Carolina to convene a televised forum to engage physicians and other health care leaders about preparing for health reform and what it means to patients and medical practices.

The forum and taping will begin in 30 seconds.  A crowd of approximately 50 physicians has gathered to hear from our panelists:

Michael Dulin, MD

Jeffrey Engel, MD, State Health Director

Ophelia Garmon-Brown, MD

Maureen O’Connor, Blue Cross Blue Shield of NC

Robert Seligson, NCMS

Michael Tarwater, Carolinas Healthcare
