Posted: Updated:
BURLINGTON, Vt. -

(AP) - Physicians from around Vermont will be attending a conference next weekend in Burlington on how they can best involve themselves in ongoing efforts to reform the state's health care system.

The Vermont Medical Society, the University of Vermont College of Medicine and other groups are sponsoring Saturday's conference at UVM to look at what role physicians should play as the state works to reduce costs and streamline health care payment systems.

One topic of discussion will be a new effort to focus on the usefulness of certain tests and procedures in various medical specialties.

There also will be discussions of health care payment systems and other topics being tackled by the Green Mountain Care Board, which is working to design Vermont's health care overhaul.
