A federal malpractice commission urges periodic relicensing for all doctors based on CME, re-examinations for specialists, and tougher state discipline. The group backs lay members on boards, open hearings, and public legal aid for small claims, plus no fault style options and improved doctor patient communication. The dissent by AMA president Dr Charles Hoffman is noted.
