ANESTHESIOLOGY POLICY RESEARCH ROTATION IN
POLITICAL AFFAIRS
ASA Office of Governmental and Legal Affairs
Washington, DC
Notice ​

The American Society of Anesthesiologist's Office of Governmental and Legal Affairs is pleased to announce the ASA Policy Research Rotation in Political Affairs, a four-week rotation in Washington, DC, designed to allow resident physicians to experience the political, legislative and regulatory factors that affect the delivery of patient care.

During the rotation, the resident will achieve comprehensive understanding of health care policy, gain first-hand experience of a political environment, assist in day-to-day activities in ASA's Office of Governmental and Legal Affairs, attend lobby events sponsored by ASA, create specific research projects, and explore and report on new law and policy changes affecting the profession of anesthesiology. The resident will be supervised by his or her program's Scholarship Oversight Committee and will also have direct supervision from ASA's Executive Vice President and General Counsel, and Director of Congressional and Political Affairs.

The resident will undergo an evaluation by the Clinical Competency Committee on his or her progress and will receive a report based on the six anesthesia competencies: patient care and medical knowledge, interpersonal and communication skills, professionalism, systems-based practice, and practice based learning and improvement.

After completing the rotation, the resident will gain further appreciation for the enormous impact that policymaking has on all facets of medicine, especially on the practice of anesthesiology. Understanding health care policy issues will directly affect and improve how residents care for patients each day in hospitals and other clinical settings.

The Policy Research Rotation in Political Affairs has been approved by the American Board of Anesthesiologists (ABA) to count toward residency credit. A stipend is provided to offset living expenses.
Interested applicants may apply in writing to:
Ronald Szabat, J.D., LL.M
Executive Vice President & General Counsel

1501 M. Street NW, Suite 300
Washington, DC 20005
Please include cover letter, resume, and CV with approval from department head and timeframe for completion of the ASA Policy Research Rotation in Political Affairs program.

Cool. Definitely a step in the right direction. I would have definitely done it if I was still a resident.
