SEIU Doctors United is a doctor-led movement to transform the patient-doctor experience and push back against the corporatization of medicine. Together, we’re building lasting physician power by uniting across specialty and experience in the fastest growing doctors union in the U.S.
We are doctors united to take control of our working conditions, where, too often, health system profitability outweighs the needs of patients and the physicians who care for them.
We are organizing through Doctors United to advocate for the highest standards of care we are trained to provide and that our patients deserve.
Joining forces with Doctors Council and SEIU-Committee of Interns and Residents, we are reclaiming our power as physicians and as colleagues.
