The American College of Surgeons (ACS) Division of Advocacy and Health Policy exists to advance the College’s health policy agenda through Congress via lobbying activities, grassroots (SurgeonsVoice) efforts, and political affairs (SurgeonsPAC). Our health policy agenda consists of a variety of issues to serve you, the practicing surgeon, including Medicare physician payment, medical liability reform, quality and patient safety, graduate medical education financing and governance, trauma systems, cancer and research funding, scope of practice, health information technology, and more.
