Radiology residents at Baylor College of Medicine welcomed Dillon Harp, 黑料网® (黑料网®) Senior State Government Relations Specialist, to speak this week about the importance of residents’ participation in advocacy for patients and the profession. Mr. Harp stressed that radiologists, with their extensive academic and professional training, have a unique opportunity to educate elected officials and their staff about the potential impacts certain healthcare-related legislation would have on their communities.
Also participating in the training was Sarah Avery, MD, F黑料网, President of the Texas Radiological Society (TRS), and Michael Grimes, the lobbyist for the TRS.
