Day at the Legislature

Day at the Legislature was awesome!  We learned heaps about legislation from the Utah Medical Alliance Association (UMAA) and from members of the House and Senate.  It was cool.  The UMAA taught us about the bills that they are requesting to be considered and passed.  It was interesting listening to the healthcare issues and how they will affect physicians and medical students in the future.  During lunch we were privileged to listen to four physicians (members of the House and Senate) speak about current healthcare issues.  They stressed the importance of physicians getting involved in government to ensure doctors taking part in healthcare decisions.  If you couldn't make it this year, go next year to become involved and informed.
