The Union of American Physicians Dentists (UAPD) is the largest union representing licensed doctors in the United States. Founded in 1972, UAPD brings together doctors working in various settings, including state and county government, large healthcare organizations, small non-profit clinics, and private practice. With affiliations to AFSCME and the AFL-CIO, UAPD advocates for better medicine by providing doctors with a legally protected right to negotiate for higher wages, humane schedules, improved benefits, job security, and more respect for their professional judgment.
UAPD represents doctors and other providers in a wide range of facilities, including non-profit clinics, large health systems, state facilities such as prisons and mental health hospitals, county facilities in California, universities, and private practices across the country. By organizing doctors and empowering them to have a voice in their working conditions, UAPD aims to ensure better healthcare for all.
