Law and Advocacy Division |
|
| The Law and Advocacy
Division serves as an information and advocacy conduit to and from members
on matters of legal, legislative, and regulatory concern to Maryland
physicians and analyzes public policy issues affecting physicians and
health care. The Division ensures that members are kept informed of legal
and regulatory changes affecting the practice of medicine and spearheads
advocacy efforts directed at government agencies and business entities
regarding developments in these areas. In addition, the attorneys assigned
to the Division provide general legal services to MedChi.
Information Center The Legislative Office, located close to the State House in downtown Annapolis, coordinates MedChi's legislative activities, working closely with MedChi's lobbyist and physician activists to ensure that the voice of MedChi and Maryland physicians is heard in the General Assembly. The Legislative Office produces the Legislative Update weekly while the legislature is in session, arranges for physician testimony on bills, and staffs the meetings of the MedChi Legislative Committee. Reach the legislative office by e-mail at legislative.medchi@erols.com, or by phone at 410-974-8384 or 301-858-5230.
