| 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. |
