Advocacy 101 is the ACR’s training program for fellows in training, rheumatology program directors and ARP members who are passionate about advocacy and governance. This program teaches participants how the federal government works, how rheumatologists and rheumatology professionals can become active and effective advocates for their interests, and how they can connect with local and state resources to continue advocating for their patients.
