Our guest speakers will be Dr. Niran Al-Agba and Dr. Rebekah Bernard, authors of the book "Patients at Risk: The Rise of the Nurse Practitioner and Physician Assistant in Healthcare."
While Scope of Practice battles continue every year, Tennessee physicians will find this meeting both timely and insightful.
