🥼FRIDAY MEMBER FEATURE ... and GO! This week, we shine a light on Shailendra Singh, MD, FACP, a member of the Arkansas Medical Society Board of Trustees and a rheumatologist dedicated to serving patients in the Searcy area. Dr. Singh believes in the important work done by the Society on behalf of physicians and patients: “Advocacy work at the Capitol is the benefit I point to first, on issues like prior authorization, reimbursement, and coding. AMS does work that no individual physician could do alone.” Thank you, Dr. Singh, for your leadership within the Society and your devotion to healthcare in Arkansas.#EmpoweringPhysicians #ImprovingMedicine #forphysiciansandtheirpatients #YourCareisatOurCore
