The '''Association of American Physicians and Surgeons''' (AAPS)<ref>http://www.aapsonline.org</ref> is the oldest active [[conservative]] and [[libertarian]] group in the world. Founded in 1943, AAPS is a membership-based [[physician]] organization that does not accept funding by [[corporation]]s or [[big government|government]], thereby ensuring AAPS's [[independence]] and nonpartisanship.

The AAPS may be the largest physician organization funded virtually entirely by membership dues. Rival organizations, such as the [[liberal]] leaning [[American Medical Association]] (which endorses [[ObamaCare]] and [[gun control]]), are funded primarily by revenue from business ventures and payments by [[pharmaceutical]] companies.

For over 60 years AAPS has remained dedicated to the preservation of the [[ethical]] practice of private medicine. It adheres to the [[Oath of Hippocrates]]. The motto of AAPS is "omnia pro aegroto," which is [[Latin]] for "all for the patient." AAPS has about 4,000 members, including members in every state and virtually every specialty of medicine. Dr. [[Jane Orient]], M.D is the Executive Director of AAPS.

== Legal Activity of Association of American Physicians and Surgeons ==
AAPS files more legal briefs on behalf of physicians and their [[patient]]s than most medical societies combined, and is often successful. In 2008, four [[Supreme Court]] Justices cited AAPS's brief in the key [[Second Amendment]] decision of ''[[D.C. v. Heller]]''. In 2006, the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit sided with AAPS and cited its ''amicus curiae'' brief in the first paragraph of the decision. ''[[Springer v. Henry]]'', 435 F.3d 268, 271 (3d Cir. 2006). Later in 2006, the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit agreed with an argument advanced by AAPS in its ''amicus curiae'' brief in overturning a highly publicized conviction and 25-year sentence of Dr. William Hurwitz for treating pain in his patients.

In ''[[Stenberg v. Carhart]]'', 530 U.S. 914 (2000), U.S. Supreme Court Justice Kennedy frequently cited material provided in a submission by AAPS. In ''United States v. Rutgard'', 116 F.3d 1270 (9th Cir. 1997), the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed a lengthy sentence as urged by an ''amicus curiae'' brief submitted by AAPS. In ''Veeck v. Southern Building Code Congress Int'l, Inc.'', 293 F.3d 791 (5th Cir. 2002), the ''en banc'' Court of Appeals for the Fifth Court adopted an argument urged by AAPS in establishing that no one may own the law.

==Policy Issues==
[[File:Jane orient.jpg|right|200px|thumbnail|Dr. [[Jane Orient]], Executive Director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS). The [[conservative]] doctors' association the AAPS has always been against ObamaCare while the liberal [[American Medical Association]] endorsed it.<ref>[http://www.aapsonline.org/index.php/article/the_right_not_to_work_for_obamacare/ The right not to work for ObamaCare]</ref><ref>[https://www.theblaze.com/contributions/why-the-ama-endorses-obamacare-but-your-doctor-does-not/ Why the AMA endorses ObamaCare]</ref> ]]
AAPS has also been successful on issues of policy. It reviewed the approval data for Wyeth's [[rotavirus]] [[vaccine]] and declared it to be unsafe before the [[FDA]] ultimately came to the same conclusion and pulled it from the market. AAPS is the only entity to have defeated the FDA twice in litigation, in both cases establishing limits on its power.

More recently, AAPS spoke out against the mandate for the [[HPV vaccine]], as it opposes all mandatory vaccines.<ref>[http://www.aapsonline.org/testimony/vacresol.htm AAPS Resolution Concerning Mandatory Vaccines]</ref> Subsequently, the Texas Medical Association and a broad coalition of organizations also opposed this mandate. In July 2007, Congressman Phil Gingrey cited AAPS on the floor of Congress in support of an amendment subsequently passed by the House of Representatives:<ref>http://gingrey.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=69634</ref>

:Mr. Chairman, my amendment would serve as an incentive for states to keep HPV vaccination programs voluntary, not mandatory. ...

:Excluding [[children]] from [[public school]] for refusal to be vaccinated for a [[disease]] spread only by sexual intercourse is a serious, precedent-setting action that trespasses on the right of parents to make medical decisions for their children, as well as on the rights of the children to attend school.

:A mandatory HPV vaccine program improperly and unnecessarily inserts the government into the lives of children, parents, and physicians. In fact, the American College of Pediatricians and the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons are opposed to any legislation which would require HPV vaccination for school attendance.

'''Physicians for Patient Protection''' (PPP) is a conservative grassroots organization of practicing and retired physicians, residents, and medical students. Their mission is to protect the American healthcare system by advocating for physician-led care.<ref>https://www.physiciansforpatientprotection.org/about-us/</ref> The group began in 2016 as a grassroots social media movement and was officially incorporated as a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization in 2018.<ref>https://www.healthleadersmedia.com/clinical-care/why-physician-assistants-and-nurse-practitioners-need-supervision-say-physician-groups</ref>

The group's president is physician and author Rebekah Bernard from [[Florida]].<ref>https://www.koaa.com/news/covering-colorado/doctor-or-nurse-understanding-the-complexities-of-medical-titles</ref> The group has over 12,000 members.<ref>https://stateofreform.com/featured/2021/02/a-physicians-response-should-registered-nurse-practitioners-be-reimbursed-at-the-same-rate-as-physicians/</ref> Their primary issue is addressing the encroachment of non-physicians into primary care with expanded full practice authority (FPA). Bernard has authored the book Patients at Risk with co-author and physician Niran Al-Agba to expose the dangers of elevating lesser trained healthcare practitioners.<ref>http://csahq.org/news/blog/detail/csa-online-first/2020/12/10/book-review-on-patients-at-risk-the-rise-of-nurse-practitioners-and-physician-assistants-in-healthcare-by-niran-al-agba-and-rebekah-bernard</ref>

The group has publicly opposed legislation to expand full practice authority for nurse practitioners, including California Assembly Bill 890<ref>https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article246035050.html</ref> and Texas House Bill 2029<ref>https://aapsonline.org/no-to-hb-2029-protect-patient-safety-in-texas/</ref> with the [[Association of American Physicians and Surgeons]].

Amber Colville, internist from [[Mississippi]] and charter member of PPP, served as a recommended physician on [[Donald Trump|President Trump]]'s 2020 Physician Advisory Board.<ref>https://www.physiciansforreform.org/files/4115/8623/7344/_Trump_2020_Physician_Advisory_Board.pdf</ref>
