POMA Policy

POMA establishes policy statements on a variety of health care topics impacting physicians and patients. Proposed policy statements only become official POMA policy statements after approval by the POMA House of Delegates (HOD). Between House of Delegates meetings, the POMA Board of Trustees makes policy decisions which are then presented HOD for final ratification. POMA's Policy Compendium contains positions from 2004-present.
