What is Advocacy Day?

Advocacy day is an opportunity for
students to increase their awareness of
key legislative issues affecting medicine,
to foster relationships with legislators
through political involvement, as well as
to gain education in the practical
aspects of physician advocacy. Advocacy
Day activities include educational
sessions on effective advocacy and
lobbying techniques, briefings on
pertinent legislative issues currently
before Congress, and a full afternoon
on Capitol Hill meeting with legislators
and their staffs.
