Definitions of HA Vary widely Individual patient advocacy Political lobbying Working abroad

What Inspires Engagement in HA? Sources of Inspiration:
Family, Travels, Mentors
Community of like-minded peer
Community or volunteer work prior to medical school
Not education in medical school nor residency

Mentoring Some students and residents were
inspired by classroom educators
Exception, not the norm
Not all students were exposed to these mentors

Encouraging HA in Medical School Focusing on medical school opportunities
to foster HA may be fruitful CHIUS DPAS
Can we do more?

HA in Formal Curriculum Should this be a subject that is taught?
Health advocates exist worldwide Professionalization may undermine HA
If HA is taught, what will this look like?

Creating An Environment for HA
Creating an enabling and nurturing environment prior to and during residency training is necessary to sustain the desire to engage in health advocacy
