CIR doctors are ready to get out the vote for our endorsed candidates—including Nithya Raman for LA Mayor, pictured here with CIR Member Political Organizers Dr. Sidhu and Dr. Perez! We need leaders like Nithya, who is standing with our attending doctors as they form a union across the UC system. We’re fighting for ourselves and our patients in our hospitals AND the ballot box!

Mail ballots go out and early voting begins on October 5th in California. Make a plan to vote!

After months of back-and-forth on salary and benefits for Brown University Health /Rhode Island Hospital’s resident physicians and fellows, the hospital’s negotiatiors have signaled that their last and final offer will be presented to the doctors on September 29.

🚨We are making it clear: if that final offer does not address the fair wages and benefits the physicians have been calling for, we will escalate.🚨

On Friday, October 2, the resident physicians and fellows, represented by CIR/SEIU, are calling out the hypocrisy and disregard for the community’s needs as CEO John Fernandez prioritized the hiring of Border Patrol agent Jason Owens instead of investing in the healthcare needs of the people of Providence.

Brown University Health/Rhode Island Hospital execs need to fund our doctors, not Border Patrol agents.

❗️Join us at the picket line on Friday, October 2nd❗️

We will not accept a system that treats any one of us as disposable. So many of our healthcare workers are immigrants—so are our neighbors, colleagues, friends, even us. No one deserves to be ripped away from their families and homes. This is state violence and we demand safety and dignity for everyone!

Attacks on immigrants are an attack on ALL of us. Our collective health depends on every one of our community members having stability and access to quality healthcare. That’s impossible if the immigrant friends and neighbors that we depend on every day are being violently torn from their families and homes.

In a powerful op-ed published exclusively in The Providence Journal, RIH resident physician and CIR leader Dr. Tori Riccelli makes it clear that supporting the doctors serving the Providence community is a leadership responsibility. To Brown/RIH executives: resident physicians and fellows deserve a fair contract, including livable pay and meaningful paid leave. We work tirelessly to care for our communities, often under immense pressure and personal sacrifice. It’s time to value the physicians who run our hospitals. It’s time for a FAIR CONTRACT NOW!

🗣️Speak up on the proposed ACGME changes.
💬 Comment “ACGME changes” to receive a DM with a link to make comment and take action!

The ACGME is proposing changes that could significantly impact residents, while downplaying what those changes could mean for resident well-being and patient care.

The ACGME asserts that because the 80-hour weekly work limit and 1-in-7 rule remain, it would be “very difficult” or “almost impossible” for programs to abuse residents.

We know better. These guardrails are the only leverage residents have.

The proposed changes would reduce important protections around rest and scheduling:
⏰ Post-24-hour call rest would be cut from 14 to 12 hours - two fewer hours of recovery after the longest shifts residents work.
😴 The 8-hour minimum between shifts would be eliminated, removing the protection that ensures residents have time to rest between a late call shift and an early start the next morning.
🌙 Night-float caps would be eliminated, giving programs greater flexibility to schedule consecutive nights without the same prescriptive limits.
📅 Restrictions on in-house call frequency would be relaxed, raising concerns about increasingly compressed and unsustainable schedules.

Submit your comments to ACGME and let them know what you think of these changes!

🏥 KEEP UCLA HEALTH PUBLIC. PATIENTS OVER PROFITS.

UCLA Health is a public institution, and it has a responsibility to serve all Californians, including low-income, working-class, Black and Brown, and Medi-Cal patients.

The decision not to renew its contract with Health Care LA has disrupted access and continuity of care for thousands of high-risk Medi-Cal patients, including children and people with complex health needs.
It also impacts physician training: residents need opportunities to care for the full diversity of Los Angeles communities, especially those who have historically faced barriers to care.

Our demands to UCLA Health leadership and the UC Board of Regents:

✊ Transparency in decisions affecting patient care
🏥 Continuity of care for impacted patients
📣 Accountability to patients, providers, residents, and communities

Public health care should prioritize patients—not profits.

KEEP UCLA HEALTH PUBLIC. PATIENTS OVER PROFITS.
