Speakers Bureau

Speakers Bureau

PNHP has long engaged physicians in the U.S. health reform debate. Since our proposal for single-payer national health insurance appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine (1/12/89) JAMA (8/13/03), and the American Journal of Public Health (5/5/16), our membership has grown to more than 20,000 physicians, including many of the most respected members of our profession.

To request a PNHP speaker at your institution, please fill out our Grand Rounds request form. If you have questions about our Speakers Bureau, or wish to schedule a speaker for a public event (not a Grand Rounds), please contact us at organizer@pnhp.org or call our national office at (312) 782-6006.
