National Advocacy Conference

Speak up for your patients.

The National Advocacy Conference allows you to join your colleagues and the American Medical Association in Washington, D.C., to advocate for patients, the medical profession and the future of medicine.

Tell your members of Congress how you feel about issues important to you, including covering the uninsured and Medicare physician payment reform.

Make your voice heard on Capitol Hill.
