Physicians for Responsible Negotiation (PRN) is a new breed of labor organization. PRN is a national negotiating organization for employed physicians and eligible medical residents, aimed at giving you the collective voice you need to advocate aggressively for you and your patients in today's challenging health care environment.

 

A Professional Alternative

You care about your patients. But, too often, outside forces care only for profits. The role of the physician as a patient advocate has been eroded. Quality care and the ability of physicians to make the best medical decisions for their patient have been severely compromised. With the full protections of federal law, PRN will negotiate with employers on behalf of its physician members. PRN gives you--America's physicians--the leverage you need to fight for patient and physician rights.

A Professional Response

PRN is the only national, independent labor organization created specifically for physicians. PRN understands the shared values of the physician community and is committed to protecting medicine's high standards of ethics and professionalism.

Physicians who choose to join PRN agree not to strike or withhold essential medical services. PRN can restore the integrity of the patient-physician relationship. It can ensure the quality and integrity of patient care, reinforce physicians' historic role as patient advocate, and make it economically viable for physicians to practice quality medicine.
