Position Statements
IAPMD uses the term position statement to designate a more comprehensive declaration of the IAPMD’s approach on a particular topic or topics. A position paper does set forth the IAPMD’s policy on topics, but it also contains background information and discussion in order to provide a more complete understanding of the issues involved and the rationale behind the position(s) set forth. A position paper frequently includes policy and/or clinical recommendations, cites outside sources and may include resources and links.
