This website has been set up to document a series of Summits entitled Physician Accountability for Physician Competence. These summits are focused on bringing a diverse group of people together from throughout the Healthcare Community to explore the future of physician regulation.
The primary question behind these Summits is: how does the healthcare community determine, measure and assure the public concerning physician competence over the career of the physician?
