Advocacy Training with Dr. Beth Liston

How does one effectively engage in the public policy process with elected officials? Does the legislative process seem mysterious and remote?  This series of training videos provide a learning opportunity of basic information and legislative steps from the perspective of Ohio State Representative Beth Liston, MD.

As a former President of the Columbus Medical Association, Dr. Liston has been active as a proponent of physicians increasing their presence in public policy deliberations. To help physicians who are new to the policy world, this series is offered to provide a learning opportunity for doctors to increase their knowledge and comfort.
