IPSIS Joins AMA and 100+ Societies to Promote Access to High-Quality VA Care

Thursday, July 29, 2021  

The International Pain and Spine Intervention Society joined more than 100 specialty and state societies in submitting a letter to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) urging the VA to reconsider its implementation of the National Standards of Practice.

The letter emphasizes that:

  • Creating one standard for all physicians is impractical and inconsistent with the practice of medicine.
  • Further, the project does not consider the importance of state licensing boards and the negative consequences of inadequate oversight of non-physician providers.
