Great piece by Dr. Glasser in THE JOLT - The Journal of Olympia, Lacey & Tumwater about one of our members Dr. Achashman Berihun at The International Medical Graduates Academy. Dr. Berihun provides care for 200 patients across three rehabilitation facilities: Panorama, Roulan, and Regency Olympia. This was possible due to the temporary MDCE license established by Washington a few years ago. Her patients are some of the most complex—recently discharged from the hospital and dealing with a long list of medical conditions, from strokes and heart attacks to infections, diabetes, and cancer. These are the doctors keeping our healthcare system running, filling gaps where care is needed most. Yet, SB 5185, a bill that would have helped doctors like Dr. Berihun stay in Washington long-term, didn’t move forward this session. Frustrating but not surprising. Sometimes, systemic barriers and powerful interests get in the way of what’s best for our communities. We’ll keep pushing for policies that support internationally trained doctors and ensure patients get the care they deserve. Take a moment to read Dr. Glasser’s article—I think it really captures why this work matters. https://lnkd.in/gEZrzThY #HealthEquity #IMGs #WAStatePolicy #PhysicianWorkforce #HealthcareAccess
