How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Collective Bargaining for Improved Patient Care
    methodology: collective_bargaining
    By organizing resident physicians into unions and using collective bargaining to improve working conditions, we produce better patient care outcomes because safer, more humane working conditions for residents directly enhance the quality and safety of medical services delivered.
  • Medical Ethics–Driven Advocacy for Sanctuary and Humane Treatment
    methodology: medical-ethics-based advocacy
    By applying medical expertise and ethical responsibility, we produce systemic change in immigration and detention policies because physicians have a professional duty to oppose unsafe and inhumane conditions that harm health, including advocating for healthcare settings as sanctuary spaces free from immigration enforcement.
