Advocacy
The Iowa Medical Society is on the frontlines fighting for physicians at the Capitol during the legislative session and meeting with legislators during the interim. Together in 2023, we were able to enact historic medical malpractice legislation with the passage of Tort Reform. The physician voice is a powerful voice. The more physicians we have speaking to legislators, the more successful we will be for our members, and even more importantly, their patients.
2024 IMS State Legislative Priorities
The IMS Committee on Legislation meets over the interim to develop recommendations for the 2025 IMS Legislative Priorities.
Final action will be taken by the Board of Directors on these priorities at a future meeting.
