Giving Clinicians a Voice

In a healthcare industry that has become increasingly profit-driven, clinicians deserve to be heard.

It's time for clinicians to regain their autonomy.

For the health of their patients and their communities.

Representing more than 7,000 private and public-sector healthcare practitioners, the Union of American Physicians and Dentists (UAPD) is the largest union for licensed doctors and advanced practice clinicians in the nation. Affiliated with AFSCME and the AFL-CIO, the UAPD brings the strength of the labor movement to the aid of working medical professionals in the interest of better medicine for all.

Our mission is to empower our members and help them advocate for quality healthcare by organizing and working together. This enables members to gain a powerful voice in workplace decisions and preserve continuity in the delivery of care for their patients.
