Voting plays a crucial role in shaping the future of health care, directly influencing policies that affect the osteopathic profession. Elections determine the lawmakers responsible for decisions on key issues, including funding for graduate medical education, addressing Medicare physician payment, scope of practice issues and broader public health initiatives.

By participating in the electoral process and encouraging others to do the same, you have the opportunity to elect leaders who prioritize the needs and goals of the osteopathic profession. Engaging in voter mobilization ensures that the voices of osteopathic physicians and advocates are heard and that our shared interests are represented in the legislative process.

Make sure you’re ready to vote! To help accomplish this, be sure to visit the Osteopathic Advocacy Network (OAN) action center today to verify your voter registration or register if you haven’t yet. Your participation is essential in securing the future of osteopathic medicine and protecting the profession’s role in shaping health care policy.
