ACR Participation
This year, the association’s third annual meeting took place at the end of February and ACR Government Affairs Committee Chair Angus Worthing, FACR, FACP, participated in its legislative and advocacy issues panel, intended to help Iowa providers stay current on national issues, adapt efforts to their state and discuss advocacy around the biosimilar and step therapy bills.
“Most of us have not been trained in terms of advocacy, and I don’t think anybody up until now has had much significant experience with it,” says Dr. Brooks. “To bring in that expertise, in terms of what other people have done and what’s successful and what to expect, is vital to our success.”
