## Resource

The American medical system is more centralized than ever — but what happens when doctors decide to build an alternative? I’m joined by Kelly Bumann, executive director of the Independent Medical Alliance, to discuss the growing movement of independent physicians working to restore patient-centered medicine, open scientific debate, informed consent, and medical freedom. IMA grew out of the network of frontline doctors associated with the FLCCC and is now expanding its mission far beyond COVID. The organization is building a network of independent physicians, medical education, research, patient resources, referrals, and tools designed to help people become more informed participants in their own health care. It is the best network of decentralized doctors who refuse to cower before the medical establishment and also strive to constantly improve clinical outcomes.  Learn more about your ad choices.
