Students Advocating in Legislation (SAIL)

SAIL's mission is two parts:

1) SAIL educates members and the community on the legislative process in Arizona and current medical legislation while developing relationships and communication with the legislators in different districts.

2) SAIL actively advocates for Arizona health policies at the state legislature on issues related to regulation, scope of practice and other medical statutes. SAIL works closely with other members of the health community and medical organizations to advocate for the best interest of the future physicians and future patients.
