8/22/23 NC ACP Spirit Week and Advocacy
Advocacy is a core mission for the ACP.
You can find out so much on the Advocacy tab on the main homepage.
Today, I want to call you attention to the ACP’s Advocacy Priorities for 2023:
1. Address Prescription Drug Costs
2. Compensate Physicians for the Value of the Care Provided
3. Improve Access to Mental and Behavioral HealthCare
4. Ensure Access to Care after the Public Health Emergency
5. Reduce Administrative Burden in Medicine
6. Invest in Public Health and Pandemic Preparedness
7. Support Patient Access to Reproductive Health Care
8. Advance Equity in Health Care
9. Prevent Firearms-Related Death and Injuries
10. Mitigate the Effects of Climate Change
How can you get involved?
To start with, join the Advocates for Internal Medicine Network. I have been a member of ACP for a long time, and it wasn’t until a few years ago
that I found out about this. One of the things I have liked is that when an important federal bill comes up for debate/vote or a particular topic needs focus, I will get notified about it and in the same email, there is a prepared statement when I can contact my legislators inWashington DC with a push of a button. It makes it so easy. You can enroll with this link.
We would love to have you join the NC ACP contingent when ACP visits DC in mass in mid-May each year for ACP Leadership Day. Save the date for May 14-15, 2024. Students and Residents can apply to have a travel stipend. We had a large group in 2023.
There is also an opportunity to visit our state representatives and senators in Raleigh through White Coat Days coordinated through the North Carolina Medical Society. Due to changes in the legislative session, our trip as a chapter that was planned for today will be rescheduled in 2024.
Dr Lacy Hobgood took a group of ECU trainees earlier this year.
We must advocate for ourselves and our colleagues by first being an advocate for ourselves.
Please join us at the first NC ACP Town Hall will be a Well-being Town Hall this Thursday August 24 at 8pm Eastern time.
"Healing Conversations: ACP NC Chapter Well-being Townhall Kickoff. Reflecting on the Original Hippocratic Oath, Fostering Physician Unity, and Opening Dialogue on Physician Suicide "
Please join us as we kick off the ACP NC Chapter Well-being Townhall series. Our first session will reflect on the original Hippocratic oath, discuss our duty to each other as physicians and open the conversation surrounding physician suicide. By reflecting on and addressing these critical issues we can begin healing journeys together.
After an opening presentation by our Well-being Committee (Dr Paul Chelminski, Dr Amna Shabbir, and Dr Kylie Nowicki) we will open it up for members to share what their challenges are, and we will explore ways we and ACP might help.
