Don’t miss out on the opportunity to join hundreds of physician leaders and medical society staff and:

  • Strategize with advocacy leaders on their organizations’ state legislative and regulatory priorities 

  • Network with other physician leaders and colleagues from across the country  

Conference content will focus on high-priority health care issues that states will likely address in the coming legislative sessions, such as combatting harmful payer practices, preserving physician-led team-based care and uplifting physician wellness.
