Registration is now open for Physicians’ Day at the Capitol, when physicians and physicians-in-training from across the state gather at the Capitol to advocate on behalf of medicine.
The annual get-together in the Capitol rotunda on February 17 will include a presentation from a key lawmaker and other physician leaders; scheduled meetings with the legislators in your district; and an opportunity to raise your voice on the MMA’s current legislative priorities
“This event is a great opportunity for physicians and physicians-in-training to advocate on behalf of medicine in Minnesota,” says MMA President Dania Kamp, MD. “Physicians, medical students, and residents/fellows need to meet with their representatives and senators to make sure they understand how the legislation they are considering will affect patients and how we practice medicine in Minnesota.”
The session, which begins January 12, is the longer version that includes passing a budget.
The MMA’s 2027 legislative priorities will be decided in November by the Board of Trustees.
