ACR® urges young physicians to get involved in advocacy early, and Boston Medical Cener residents learned how during a recent ACR-led webinar. Dillon Harp, ACR Senior State Government Relations Specialist, led the session.

Harp explained the differences between grassroots and grasstops advocacy and shared tips for meeting with lawmakers. He also showed residents how to stay engaged and updated them about state legislation the College follows, including key issues in the Massachusetts Legislature.

Residents and Fellows receive free ACR membership during their training and early career professionals receive discounts on membership dues for the first four years out of training. Learn more about ACR membership.
