With this special episode co-hosts Scott and Jason explore the importance of serving as an advocate for our profession and our patients. This episode was recorded live on location from the historic Mayflower Hotel in Washington DC, as your hosts prepared for the kickoff of the 2024 AOA DO Day on Capitol Hill legislative conference.
Both Jason and Scott see this week in DC advocating for the osteopathic profession and our patients as equally important to what we do on a daily basis as we advocate for our patients and their families every day in our clinics or hospital units. Only by advocating for the ongoing support of our profession can we continue to provide the care that we do to our patients, and it takes us building these relationships with policy makers on both the local and national level to ensure that our needs and the needs of our patients remains in the forefront of their minds.
Jason and Scott discuss their paths to becoming champions of healthcare advocacy and why these opportunities continue to recharge their batteries annually. They also discuss ways that you can get involved at any level and how you can start to create your own “advocacy portfolio” as you progress through your osteopathic medical journey, wherever you may be on that path.
Do you want to share your advocacy journey? Or do you have another special story you’d like to share with the ACOP community? We are always looking for guests to join us for our monthly podcast!! Contact Scott and Jason at Pedscast@acopeds.org to arrange a guest appearance!!
