Advocacy
The Iowa Medical Society fights on the frontlines for physicians at the Capitol during the legislative session and meets with legislators during the interim. Together we can enact pro-physician policies that empower the House of Medicine in Iowa. The physician voice is a powerful voice. The more physicians we have speaking to legislators, the more successful we will be for our members, and even more importantly, their patients.
