Tomorrow is Election Day! If you haven’t mailed in, dropped off or cast your early vote, make sure to visit your polling place tomorrow, Tuesday, November 5. This year’s election is important as it includes presidential, House and Senates races, which will impact osteopathic medicine and health policy.

It’s essential for the voices of osteopathic medical students and physicians to be heard at the polls. Physicians and other healthcare professionals have critical expertise that can help shape public policy, yet, historically, have been less likely to engage in the political process as measured by their propensity to vote.

This is a moment for everyone to participate. Your vote is a critical and powerful first step. Stand up for what matters to you and contribute to the future of your patients, community and country.
