Advocacy
March 25-27, 2012
J.W. Marriott Washington, DC
The Summit will provide Fellows with advocacy training, in-depth issue briefings, and culminates in hundreds of surgeons blanketing Capitol Hill to meet with their members of Congress to advocate for issues such as the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR), liability reform, and many others.
The 2012 Leadership Conference, Surgical Leadership for Quality and Safety, will be held March 25-26 in tandem with the Summit. Separate, concurrent sessions are planned for Young Surgeons, Residents, Chapter Leaders, and Chapter Executives (Administrators and Executive Directors).
