For any folks in the D.C. area, wanted to give you a heads-up about an interesting conference taking place in the city next week!
Doctors for America, an advocacy organization that started out as Doctors for Obama during the 2008 campaign, is hosting it's first-ever national leadership conference to discuss legislative priorities in medicine for the upcoming year. As a collection of over 15,000 young physicians and a subsidiary of the Center for American Progress, this group has real potential to make a difference. Within its first years, they helped pressure the AMA (American Medical Association - a traditional opponent of healthcare reform) into endorsing Obama's reform package by rallying the voices of medical students and young physicians.
Attending the conference will be Fmr. Senate Majority Leader (and key architect of Obama-care) Tom Daschle as well as Don Berwick, Head of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Check it out!
