2019 Missouri advocacy day

About Advocacy Day

March 13, 2019, Jefferson City

 The Missouri ACP Advocacy Day in Jefferson City this March will be the Chapter’s second event, and after the great response in year one, we look forward to the 2019 event! Attendees will have the unique opportunity to discuss health care policy issues with Missouri's lawmakers while at the same time raising visibility for our internal medicine specialty. This is also an opportunity for Missouri medical students, residents, and fellows to become involved in advocacy at an early stage in their careers.
 
All attendees will be briefed on timely state health care policy issues and how best to effectively communicate with legislators, after which attendees will have a chance to meet with their elected representative, senator, and/or staff. This is a no stress event, just bring your white coat and your voice!
 
Please join us for our free Advocacy Day event!  Click here to download a flyer.

Missouri ACP has developed our 2019 Legislative Priorities. These issues will be addressed during Advocacy Day.
