Vermont Business Magazine In light of recent concerns regarding the suppression, censorship, or misrepresentation of scientific information relevant to medical care by the federal government, organizations representing Vermont physicians and physician assistants wish to reassure the public that Vermont clinicians are dedicated to providing honest, accurate, science-based information to help patients make informed decisions about their health.
The physicians and PAs affiliated with our organizations are dedicated to providing the highest quality medical care grounded in the most current and reliable scientific research.
We pledge to:
- Uphold the highest ethical standards in medical practice, ensuring that patient care is informed by the best available scientific evidence.
- Advocate for the free exchange of medical and scientific knowledge without censorship or distortion.
- Resist efforts that attempt to politicize medical science in ways that could endanger public health.
- Support policies that prioritize public health and safety based on sound medical knowledge.
The health and well-being of our communities depends on the trust that patients place in their clinicians. That trust is built upon a foundation of honesty, scientific integrity, and the unwavering commitment of medical professionals to do no harm.
We, the undersigned organizations, encourage patients to seek guidance from their trusted physicians and other reputable medical professionals and organizations for accurate and up- to-date health information. We will continue to advocate for policies that protect public health, promote scientific progress, and ensure that health care decisions between patients and their medical teams are without bias, are evidence-based and confidential, upholding the sacred trust of the clinician-patient relationship.
