Health Care Politics Behind the Scenes: New Leadership Academy Session
[Posted 03/01/07]

CMA’s 10th Annual California Health Care Leadership Academy is April 13-15 at the Monterey Convention Center. CMA CEO Joe Dunn will host a special session at the conference, “Health Care Politics Behind the Scenes.” Mr. Dunn, a California state senator from 1998 to 2006, will provide insights into what is really going on behind the scenes as health system reform takes center stage in the state legislature this year. The presentation will follow a panel discussion on the access-to-care initiatives being proposed by the governor and the legislative leadership. Mr. Dunn will also speak, at another point in the conference, on the need for physicians to be proactive in the political arena as advocates for their patients and their profession.

The final conference agenda was mailed to all CMA members this week. The agenda and registration information can also be viewed on the conference website.

Early-bird tuition is $595 for members, $895 for nonmembers. After March 16, tuition is $695 for members, $995 for nonmembers. Attendees can receive up to 14 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM.
