Fight for Family Medicine in the Nation’s Capital
Join family physicians from around the country to represent your patients and your profession on Capitol Hill. Over the course of two days, you will learn about the issues facing family medicine and best practices for sharing your story with elected officials. The Summit is the perfect opportunity for family physicians to get practical, hands-on experience advocating within the legislative process.
We hope you will join us from May 20-21, 2019, at the Marriott Marquis Hotel(www.marriott.com) in Washington, DC.
