Position Statements

An NPIAP position statement is a concise document that recaps a topic or delineates the NPIAP’s opinion on a specific issue. It will usually be single topic focused. In counter-distinction to a position paper it will be brief, timely and directed at the current medical/legislative/political landscape. Questions and concerns should be directed to the lead author or the Public Policy Committee
