Advocacy Opportunities

Advocacy in primary care happens at multiple levels as physicians have roles and voices in their communities at local, state, regional, national, and even global arenas.

Medical students have a powerful voice in this process. Students are the future of the health care system, and policy- and decision-makers often recognize and value that perspective.
