What's in a name? Are we 'providers'? What are your thoughts and dispositions regarding this position paper from the ACP?

Roon is a private network for physicians.
We built this platform for doctors to connect, share knowledge, and shape the future of medicine. Sign up or sign in to view this content. All U.S. physicians with a valid NPI are eligible to join; we are working to expand international access and access for allied healthcare providers.
Why now
We believe this moment is urgent. We are living through a time when science itself is under siege. Experts are doubted, data is distorted, and public health has been relentlessly attacked. The result is a dangerous vacuum where misinformation thrives louder than truth, and where the voices of those who dedicate their lives to medicine are drowned out by noise.
At Roon, we believe this moment demands something different. A place where physicians can connect without fear of trolls or bad actors. A network where expertise isn’t just protected, but amplified. A space that restores confidence in the power of medicine—by bringing doctors together, across specialties, to share knowledge and illuminate what’s possible when science and humanity meet.
Why Roon
Roon is that space. A physicians-only knowledge network, built for today’s challenges. It’s a digital doctor’s lounge where the wisdom of one becomes the resource of many. It’s where the best minds in medicine can exchange perspectives, spark breakthroughs, and reclaim the authority of expertise in a world that desperately needs it.
On Roon, physicians can:
- Discuss clinical pearls, difficult cases, and changing health policy
- Stay on top of emerging research -Connect with physicians across specialties and institutions
At a time where so many medical policy decisions are made by people who have never seen patients, the stakes are too high for silence. Public trust in medicine will not be rebuilt by chance—it will be rebuilt by doctors, together, showing what science looks like when it is open, collaborative, and uncompromisingly human.
