ACR recently participated in the AMA’s 2025 State Legislative Roundtable, joining counterpart state and national medical associations to discuss policies that directly impact physician practice and patient care. The forum is an effective tool to align advocacy priorities, share intelligence across states and develop relationships.
Priority topics explored included:
ACR members are particularly encouraged to review the AMA’s prior authorization model bill and survey data, AI state policy briefs and scope of practice advocacy one-pagers that support physician-led healthcare teams. These tools, alongside the College’s own model legislation and policy analyses, help equip radiologists and state societies to shape state legislative measures in 2026.
