What is Lobby Day?
AMA Medical Student Lobby Day is an excellent opportunity to increase your awareness of legislative issues affecting medicine, to foster relationships with legislators through political involvement, and to gain real-life education in the practical aspects of physician advocacy. Lobby Day activities, which span two days, include interactive educational sessions on effective advocacy and lobbying techniques, briefings on legislative issues currently before Congress, and a full afternoon on Capitol Hill meeting with legislators and their staffs. Medical Student Lobby Day will be held Feb. 28 – March 1, 2010, at the Holiday Inn Capitol in Washington, D.C.
