Advocacy
2026 Florida Legislative Session
Stay informed and engaged during the December 2025 Fly-In to Tallahassee, ahead of the 2026 Florida Legislative Session, with the Broward County Medical Association’s advocacy resources.
The December 2025 Fly-In to Tallahassee offers physicians the opportunity to discuss health-related bills with Florida legislators.
Fraser Cobbe and Joe Daraskevich get in the holiday spirit ahead of a week where members of multiple medical societies will be meeting with legislators in Tallahassee.
This episode touches on some important issues that will be top of mind as the doctors sit down with state Senators and Representatives. Fraser kicks things off with some thoughts on Artificial Intelligence and how AI will be a hot topic within all communities, including the medical profession.
Fraser and Joe switch the focus to tort reform and close the episode by turning their attention to autonomous practice. Medical care in rural communities has been an important concept for the last few years, so Fraser explains why organized medicine is in favor of a team healthcare concept where MDs and DOs are the leaders of the team.
