Episode 113
Friday, 16 October, 2026
In this episode of POMA DOes…, Tyler Burke, POMA Senior Director of Government Affairs, recaps POMA's first-ever Advocacy Day on October 6 and provides an update on Pennsylvania's evolving legislative landscape. He discusses the proposed Pennsylvania False Claims Act, its potential impact on physicians and medical practices, and what the upcoming November 3 general election could mean for healthcare policy. The episode also explores POMA's legislative priorities and the importance of continued physician engagement in shaping the future of osteopathic medicine in Pennsylvania. Key Takeaways: Physician advocacy makes a difference. POMA's inaugural Advocacy Day brought osteopathic physicians and medical students to Harrisburg to connect with lawmakers, share their experiences, and advocate for patients and the profession. The legislative landscape can change quickly. The proposed Pennsylvania False Claims Act raises concerns about potential legal and financial burdens on medical practices, highlighting the importance of POMA's continued advocacy. Elections shape the future of healthcare policy. Pennsylvania's November 3 general election will help determine the makeup of the next General Assembly and influence legislative priorities affecting physicians and patients.
