ACRO's new initiative SOAP: Spotlight on Advocacy and Policy provides public policy awareness to the radiation oncology community. The initiative has been launched by our co-hosts Dr. Anna Brown, Dr. Simon Brown, Dr. Tarita Thomas, and Dr. Paul Wallner. Considering current discussions revolving around future payment for radiation oncology services, this is a perfect time to arm ACRO members with the tools to be active advocates in these ongoing discussions. During this first episode, The Role of Government in Policy & Advocacy: Congress, our special guest, Jason S. McKitrick, a Principal with DC based firm, Liberty Partners, joins hosts Dr. Anna Brown and Dr. Tarita Thomas, in a lively discussion on how Congress engages in public policy and tips for how physicians can be impactful.
