Have you Signed Up to be Doctor of the Day?
 
Pick a day and agree to serve as physician-of-the-day in the Capital.  MedChi is the only organization with access to all elected officials right in the Capital, where we staff the first aid room. As physician of the day you have privileges to the legislative chamber floors and a great opportunity to interact with legislators up close.  Emeritus Physicians who have an active license were an enormous help last year.  We hope you will volunteer again this year.  Send in the FAX BACK FORM or call or email MedChi's Annapolis Office for details 410-539-0872 ext. 6001 or swisniewski@medchi.org. 
 
There is also a wealth of knowledge about the Maryland General Assembly available at their homepage.
