According to the ASA, anesthesiologists should take part in the 2011 Advocacy Involvement Challenge by hosting a lawmaker or his or her staff for a site visit. So far this year, five ASA members have hosted a legislator or staff members.
To assist in the process of hosting a site visit, anesthesiologists can refer to a guide on hosting a site visit, developed by the Committee on Governmental Affairs. They can also email grassroots@asawash.org to find out more details.
