SAVE THE DATEFamily Medicine Advocacy Day on the Hill 2020February 13, 2020Each year, doctors, students, and residents visit the Utah State Capitol to advocate for family medicine. Family physicians learn how to advocate, hear from elected officials, and meet with legislators to discuss important issues and concerns, lobbying on behalf of family medicine and the patients we serve. This is an invaluable opportunity to meet with legislators on their own turf and gives both members and elected officials a unique one-on-one to help better understand our positions on a variety of bills.
