Psychiatry faces legislative and regulatory threats and opportunities in Maryland. Serving as the voice of psychiatry requires an enormous financial commitment. The Maryland Psychiatric Society works for psychiatrists by advocating with lawmakers and the executive branch. MPS has successfully addressed access issues, scope of practice, unfair reimbursement practices, and additional burdensome training requirements.

To ensure sufficient resources to sustain government affairs activities and legal counsel for effective representation of psychiatrists and their patients, we need financial support from all Maryland psychiatrists. Please donate today to our advocacy fund; every contributor, every member strengthens our collective position!

Although payments to the Advocacy Fund are not charitable donations, they may be fully tax deductible as a business expense; check with your tax preparer.
