Spring 2010
A FREE 45-min podcast to gain the necessary expertise, skills, and tools to advocate with confidence for legislation to address the critical care workforce crisis.
Who should view this podcast?
All domestic ACCP members, especially those attending the 17th Annual ACCP Capitol Hill Caucus, and their staff
Not only do physicians have a strong interest in engaging in public sector advocacy on behalf of their patients, but they also have a professional obligation to do so. Despite this interest, physician involvement in health-related advocacy in the public arena remains low. This free, 45-minute podcast, in which ACCP leaders serve as faculty, educates domestic ACCP members and their staff regarding the growing critical care workforce shortage—a legislative priority for chest medicine—and how this shortage interfaces with health system reform. Learners will receive the necessary expertise, skills, and tools to advocate with confidence for legislation to address the critical care workforce crisis.

The ACCP educational standards pertaining to conflict of interest are intended to maintain the professional autonomy of the clinical experts inherent in promoting a balanced presentation of science. Through our review process, all ACCP CME activities are ensured of independent, objective, scientifically balanced presentations of information. Disclosure of any or no relationships will be made available on-site during all educational activities.
