So, what is the proper terminology?
the JHT publishes numerous international papers and this issue does not
affect their scope of practice or reimbursement. I can only ask for the support of the international authors by
incorporating the correct language
in their literature being published
within the JHT.
The battle is not over and I assure
you that with your help we will
continue to fight the good fight.
