Ann Miller Wilson, MD, recently spent time with the NCMS Government Affairs Department completing a one-month elective to learn more about how to help protect physician interests in the state legislature. During this time, Dr. Wilson created several whitepapers pertaining to scope of practice issues currently being discussed at the North Carolina General Assembly. The whitepapers will be available shortly.

Dr. Wilson became interested in physician advocacy when Chip Baggett, NCMS Director of Government Affairs, visited Carolinas Medical Center in an effort to rally support around the monumental tort reform bill. Dr. Wilson is completing her residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation at Carolinas Medical Center.
