Physicians who wish to engage in health policy discussions and advocate for key issues are strongly encouraged to attend Michigan State Medical Society (MSMS) Advocacy Day on Wednesday, May 5, 2027. This event offers a unique opportunity to meet with legislators and their staff in person, providing a platform to discuss the challenges physicians and patients face every day. Advocacy Day is an invaluable way to ensure that the physician perspective is heard and considered in shaping Michigan’s healthcare policies.
With new majorities in both chambers of the Legislature, there are major challenges as well as significant opportunities. Physicians who attend Advocacy Day will meet with members of legislative leadership, as well as members of the Health Policy, Insurance, and Judiciary Committees. These are the key decision-makers on issues such as medical liability, investing in primary care, scope of practice, insurance industry reforms, and more.
Registration is open, so sign up now. Further information, including talking points, schedule, and legislator bios, will be shared before the event.
