Which candidates will NEMPAC back in coming elections and why? What are the most important items on the legislative agenda? NEMPAC leaders and staff will be on hand to answer your questions.

ACEP’S School of Political Advocacy

Wednesday, Oct. 28
12:30–1:20 p.m.
Room 106

Emergency physicians are the only providers who work 24-7 to see any patient with an acute need, regardless of their ability to pay. You know this. Do your legislators know this? If not, they should.

ACEP’S School of Political Advocacy will outline the key advocacy issues for emergency physicians and emergency patients at the state and federal levels in 2015 and beyond. Led by ACEP staffers Gordon Wheeler and Jeanne Slade, the course gives you an action plan for developing a relationship with your legislators and how to work with your colleagues to advance the critical advocacy agenda for emergency medicine.
