Last month, students from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine Georgia campus, along with AACOM staff, met with Senator Jon Ossoff’s office to discuss the need to ensure GME residency parity through the FAIR Act.
I found my experience advocating for DO students to be exciting. Sharing the student perspective with legislators is much more effective when it is provided by the students themselves, which is why it is so important for students to advocate. I personally felt a sense of satisfaction being able to speak my mind about this subject. Thomas Le, OMS II, PCOM-Georgia. Osteopathic advocates across the country will have the opportunity to engage directly with their Senators and Representatives at AACOM Advocacy Day. All Advocacy Day participants will hear from congressional representatives and attend a specialized advocacy training session on October 17, 2023, and advocate for osteopathic priorities on October 18. AACOM Advocacy Day is your opportunity to make a difference and shape the future of healthcare. |
