Advocate for Health
The CMA is working to expand the capacity of Central Ohio physicians to effectively engage to public policy formation. CMA members are welcome to join the CMA's Public Policy Committee to work with physician colleagues, or physicians can work on the issues of their own choosing, at the federal, state, or local level.
To provide additional support to this effort, the CMA has produced multiple training videos. This educational series will help prepare one for different aspects and levels of advocating in Ohio.
