ACP 2025 Health Policy Internship Application Cycle Now Open

ACP is now accepting applications from medical students and residents for the 2025 Health Policy Internship Program, which will take place April 1-April 30, 2025. The ACP Health Policy Internship provides a multifaceted opportunity to learn about the legislative process, health policy, and advocacy in organized medicine. 

One resident/fellow and one medical student will be selected to work in ACP’s Washington, DC office with governmental affairs and public policy staff.  We encourage you to share this opportunity with any students and residents who may be interested. The application closes on October 31, 2024. For more information about the program, please visit the Health Policy Internship Program page or contact Josh Serchen at jserchen@acponline.org with any questions.


ACP Leadership Day on Capitol Hill

ACP’s annual national advocacy event, Leadership Day, will be held in 2025 on Monday, April 28 – Tuesday, April 29 at the Westin Washington, DC Downtown Hotel, located at 999 9th Street, NW, in Washington, DC. Please mark your calendars so you can join us!

Leadership Day enables the College to increase its presence on Capitol Hill and advocate directly with Congress in support of legislation directly impacting internal medicine physicians and their patients. ACP members will receive in-depth briefings on the College’s legislative priorities and an opportunity to meet with elected officials. To help our members prepare for Leadership Day, we have developed a frequently asked questions (FAQs) document with logistical information for the event. The FAQs can be accessed here.

Note that Leadership Day is being held earlier next year (in April) and on a Monday – Tuesday combination (not on Tuesday – Wednesday as is typical).

More details about the event will follow, but if you have questions regarding Leadership Day in the meantime, please contact Shuan Tomlinson at stomlinson@acponline.org or 800-338 -2746, ext. 4547.
