2012 WHITE COAT DAYSI
Why should I leave behind my busy practice to lobby at the General Assembly? As the saying goes, if you're in medicine, you're in politics. Members of the General Assembly need to hear from YOU, their constituents, about how the legislation they're considering will affect the practice of medicine: from setting Medicaid payment rates, protecting Virginia's positive liability climate, to ensuring quality patient care.
Speak up, get involved! Sign up now!
