The American College of Radiology® (ACR®) is excited to bring its radiology advocacy webinar to Creighton University Health Sciences Campus-Arizona this month. In this webinar, attendees will discover ways to engage as advocates for both patients and their profession.

While meeting with state legislators and members of Congress can be intimidating, the reality is that most of them have no background in healthcare. Dillon Harp, ACR Senior State Government Relations Specialist, will talk about the importance of physician-led advocacy and how residents can help educate lawmakers on matters that affect the house of medicine and patient safety.

Program directors and state radiological society chapter leaders are encouraged to contact Dillon Harp to bring a resident advocacy webinar to their residents.
