Days at the Capitol brings medicine’s future to Tallahassee

FMA Staff


The FMA welcomed medical students and residents from across the state to our downtown Tallahassee office on Tuesday for our annual Days at the Capitol event.

With the Florida Legislature in full swing, members of the FMA’s Medical Student Section (MSS) and Resident & Fellow Section (RFS) visited the state Capitol for a firsthand look at the legislative process and how the FMA advocates for Florida-licensed physicians. We thank all of our participants for bringing their energy and enthusiasm to this year’s event!
