Doctor of the Day
TMA works with the General Assembly each legislative session to provide volunteer physicians to serve the medical needs of lawmakers and their staff. Volunteers have the unique opportunity to interact with legislators in Nashville for one day and get a first-hand look at the legislative process, while giving back to the public servants who support physicians' issues.

TMA’s annual policy briefing and lobby day in Nashville connects physicians directly with lawmakers so they can advocate for their patients and discuss major issues affecting the medical profession in Tennessee.

Advocacy Calls
While TMA’s lobbyists work hard to develop relationships with legislators and other elected officials, nothing carries more weight than physicians themselves getting engaged in the process. Activism among members – especially those who are constituents who live and/or work in a senator's or representative’s district – is an effective way to build political allies and secure committee votes when issues arise.

Dialogues in the District
TMA organizes small group meetings and events with key legislators and constituents on their home turf, which is an opportune time for physicians to get valuable face time with elected officials. This localized approach allows physicians and legislators to develop more meaningful, productive relationships.
