Join MILI in Washington DC!
Given how involved the government can be in the medical industry, a strong understanding of how health policy is developed and enacted at the federal level is essential for smart industry leaders. MILI students and affiliates are invited to join MILI on our annual trip to the Nation’s Capital. Attendees will discover what goes on inside the government, understand the impact of health data and its role in policy, learn from insiders about the activities of medical industry firms in D.C., and network with leaders and staff from the Administration, Congress, and advocacy/lobbying organizations focused on health care issues.
The trip will start with a MILI hosted welcome to DC networking event late afternoon on March 5 followed by 2.5 days of visits. Past visits have included the US. Department of Health and Human Services, Healthcare Leadership Council, Pfizer, UnitedHealth Group, White House National Economic Council, The Morning Consult, FDA, and more.
Participants will be responsible for all personal expenses (hotel, flight, meals, etc.). Registrations will be taken on a first-come first-served basis. Please register early, space is limited. Contact Jessica Haupt (jahaupt@umn.edu or 612-624-9202) if you have questions!
