Poor treatment of resident physicians is bad medicine for all.
Residents before us established a high bar for our contract,
but we must not take this for granted. In this political climate,
the importance of having a union cannot be underestimatedWe must constantly organize and make sure that new residents
are involved with the union to remain strong, and a part of this
is making sure that everyone is a member.
- Dr. Amir Meiri, Boston Medical Center
Committee of Interns and Residents
CIR is the largest housestaff union in the United States representing over 15,000 housestaff. We aim to help unite and empower other resident physicians to have a stronger voice within their hospitals. With a growing, nationwide union of residents and fellows, we garner more negotiating power and support for our patients, our communities and ourselves. We use our collective voice to advocate for cost-effective, high quality health care for those we care for.
“Residents are often marginalized in the hospitals we work in. We want a stronger, more unified voice which gives each and every one of us the opportunity to do more, together. CIR supports us in having a strong unified voice.”
-Dr. Eve Kellner President, CIR
