Looking to Engage in Advocacy? Here's How.

University of Washington School of Medicine Episode 60

Dr. Genevieve Pagalilauan (Medicine; Co-Lead for Service Learning; Lead, Interprofessional Service Learning) provides tips for getting involved in advocacy in whichever areas you work. She gives background on finding her current roles, and demonstrates how accessible it can be to engage on a local or national level, including strategies for success when advocating with your legislative representatives. UW rules for engagement and External Affairs are important resources for additional guidance. Whether it's through speaking or writing, Dr. Pagalilauan encourages everyone to explore and join groups and communities to share in advocacy efforts for long-term progress.
