About the Summit
Attend the WSMA Legislative Summit and help us turn WSMA policy into
action.
At next year's Summit, join us, along with other top Washington state
officials and health care leaders, as we kick off an action-packed day on
the hill dedicated to advancing priority issues for physicians, physician
assistants, medical students, and patients.
-
Learn which legislative and budget items the WSMA believes will benefit
most from your support during the state legislative session.
-
Receive information on how to meet with your legislators and effectively
deliver our message.
We know your time is valuable: We'll provide lunch and we'll handle
scheduling your (optional) personal meetings with your state legislative
delegation in the afternoon.
This event provides a unique opportunity to make your voice heard by
the people who are deliberating the policies, laws, and regulations in
Olympia that impact the practice of medicine in Washington.
The event is free for WSMA members. With questions, contact Chelsea
Thumberg at chelsea@wsma.org.
