What is the MSV Advocacy Summit?

The MSV Advocacy Summit is an opportunity for members to propose ideas for MSV’s advocacy efforts, including our legislative agenda and budget priorities.

Share your ideas on today’s healthcare issues.

Unlike the MSV House of Delegates resolution process, which guides the MSV’s future advocacy work, the Summit is an opportunity for members to draw attention to a current issue facing the medical community and propose a way for the MSV to get involved in the upcoming year.

Register to join.

Interested in submitting a proposal? Please note proposals must be submitted by a member of the MSV, and are accepted until Friday, May 8th, 2026.

If you author a proposal and would like to use a proxy to present, please include the name and contact information for the proxy when submitting your proposal.

Who can attend the Advocacy Summit?

Physicians, PAs, medical students, as well as local and specialty societies are invited to submit proposals and participate in the Advocacy Summit. For more information, email [email protected].

What is the review process?

Proposals will be reviewed and considered by MSV’s Specialty Advisory Council, Advocacy Committee, and Board of Directors for further review. After the Summit, proposals will be posted on the MSV website for virtual commenting and feedback.
