Interstate dermatopathology interpretations--50 separate licenses?
The increasing bureaucracy of health care has had a serious negative impact on physicians and patients for the last fifteen years.

Temporary and long term solutions are discussed with the hope that dialogue and political consensus-building can bring resolution to the problem.
