Vermont Business Magazine The “doctor is in” starting Thursday, February 2nd, 2023, in the Vermont Statehouse Cafeteria from 11:30-1:30. As part of the Doctor of the Month program the Vermont Academy of Family Physicians (VTAFP) invites legislators to come meet with family physicians, to ask questions about healthcare, and to have a conversation about the practice of medicine in Vermont.
The "Doctor of the Month" program is designed to bring family physicians to the Statehouse each month of the session to promote primary care, offer lawmakers a space to ask healthcare questions that are in front of them and to explain how proposed health care policies could affect the work on the ground.
This Thursday is the launch of this program, which features 2-4 family physicians from a variety of practice settings, who are available for informal conversations on all things related to healthcare in Vermont. The VTAFP will be back for the Doctor of the Month program on Thursday, March 30th and Thursday, April 13th.
Please join the VTAFP in welcoming the family physicians who will be the “Doctors of the Month.” Helping lawmakers become more familiar with the practice of medicine while also providing the opportunity to ask family physicians about specific health care issues.

VTAFP strives to protect the importance of the physician/patient relationship within the health care system, promote a positive practice environment and assist in the development of a unified voice on public policy issues that affect the health of Vermonters.
