Advocacy, the Role of Academic Health Science Centers in the Public Policy Arena
Ross A. Frommer, Vice President for Government and Community Affairs (GCA) and Associate Dean Columbia University Irving Medical Center, will discuss the role of advocacy and its importance in our academic healthcare center. He will also provide insights into the critical function of GCA within our medical center and how the CUIMC community can engage with, and benefit from, the services provided.
