DISCLOSURE
Due to the fact that this week was the
bill filing deadline in the House, several hundred bills have been filed
in the last two days. In our efforts to get this information out to you in
a timely manner, we are continuing to review this document, and there may
be changes.
Have you Signed Up to be Doctor of the Day?
Pick a day and agree to serve as
physician-of-the-day in the Capital. MedChi is the only organization
with access to all elected officials right in the Capital, where we staff
the first aid room. As physician of the day you have privileges to the
legislative chamber floors and a great opportunity to interact with
legislators up close. Emeritus Physicians who have an active license
were an enormous help last year. We hope you will volunteer again
this year. Send in the FAX BACK
