Public support for or recommendation of a particular cause or policy.

Kansas Academy of Family Physicians advocates in Topeka and Washington DC for the specialty of family medicine, for members and for the health of Kansans.  In Topeka KAFP uses the services of Government Relations Liaison Dodie J. Wellshear and officers who testify upon occasion, to advance our legislative priorities.  

There are many ways you can educate and advocate for family medicine:

• Become a member of the Governmental Advocacy Committee
• Attend Advocacy Day & the Legislative Reception
• Attend Advocacy Afternoon as a resident or student
• Volunteer to serve as Family Doctor of the Day at the Statehouse
• Take action when KAFP encourages you to contact your legislator
