ASA Anesthesiology Policy Research Rotation in Political Affairs

The American Society of Anesthesiologists Office of Governmental and Legal Affairs is pleased to announce the ASA Anesthesiology Policy Research Rotation in Political Affairs, a four-week rotation in Washington, D.C., designed to allow resident physicians to experience the political, legislative and regulatory factors that affect the delivery of patient care.

During the rotation, the resident will achieve comprehensive understanding of health care politics and policy, gain first-hand experience of a political environment, assist in day-to-day activities in ASA’s Office of Governmental and Legal Affairs, attend lobby events sponsored by ASA, create specific research projects and explore and report on new law and policy changes affecting the profession of anesthesiology. During the rotation the resident will be supervised by ASA’s Director of Congressional and Political Affairs.

The Policy Research Rotation in Political Affairs has been approved by the American Board of Anesthesiologists (ABA) to count toward residency credit. A stipend of at least $4,000 is provided to offset living expenses.

Applications for 2013-2014 will be accepted February 15 through May 15, 2013. If you would like more information on the program, please contact Grassroots Program Administrator Pat Daly at p.daly@asawash.org.
