In just a few days, we felt transformed from residents who were somewhat disengaged from the political world around us into doctors who felt empowered to make a difference for our colleagues and patients. We would strongly urge all residents to consider attending the Leadership & Advocacy Conference next year in March. While the politics in the United States are still frustrating, being shown how to have your voice heard and seeing that it can guide the decisions and votes of our representatives are inspiring and offer hope in a broken system. And the greatest thing? All you have to do is show up.
