Every other year, state legislators pass laws that affect you and your patients. That’s why it’s important physicians show up at the Texas Capitol. We need your help to educate our state legislators on issues that affect your patients and your practices. Testifying before a Senate or House Committee hearing is not easy and often can be downright intimidating.

However, it’s extremely important that medicine is there in force.

CPR Day at the Capitol

In addition, during your “down time” from legislative visits, please join the TSA in Room E2.002 of the Capitol for our annual CPR training sessions.

Sessions are to be held at 10:00–11:00 a.m., 1:30–2:30 p.m. and 3:00–4:00 p.m.
