Currently, he serves as the Academy’s Coordinator of Health Policy, where he contributes to private payer advocacy and Academy position statements. Drawing on this experience, he explains political challenges associated with being a smaller specialty, roles played by of Action Committees (PACs), and steps in legislative advocacy. Then, he shifts focus to cover how the Academy works with private payers to ensure fair reimbursement. The podcast concludes with resources to connect otolaryngologists with advocacy work.
