Academy Town Hall with Congressman Landsman
Thank you to everyone who joined our recent townhall with Congressman Greg Landsman.
The evening fostered meaningful, open dialogue between physicians and our congressional representative — with thoughtful questions and honest discussion on the future of Medicare, the role of academic medicine, and protecting public health infrastructure.
Events like this are a powerful reminder that physician voices matter — and when we come together to share insights from the frontlines of care, we help shape smarter, more responsive health policy.
Vote for 2026–2027 President-Elect
Don’t forget to cast your vote in the Academy’s annual election. Your vote helps shape the leadership and direction of our organization.
