American College of Surgeons Advocacy Summit
March 26-27th in Washington, DC.
As a surgeon, you have a unique perspective on how federal legislation will impact the way you practice medicine and treat your patients. Add your voice to the debate on issues ranging from Medicare physician payment and liability reform, to quality improvement and surgical workforce. The Advocacy Summit (formerly JSAC) is your opportunity to come to Washington and make sure your elected officials know how their actions affect you!
The Summit will kick-off on Monday, March 26th, following the ACS Leadership Conference, with intensive advocacy training and issue briefings to prepare you for Tuesday, when you will meet with your federal legislators to put your new or newly refreshed advocacy skills to the test. This is the most important part of the conference, so please plan to leave Washington no earlier than 4:00 pm. Visit http://www.facs.org/ahp/summit/index.html for more information.
