AMPAC, the American Medical Association’s political action committee, will host its annual training session Sept. 11-14 for physicians, medical students and spouses interested in becoming more involved in the political process. 

The AMPAC Campaign School will take place at the AMA offices in Washington, D.C., and is aimed at physicians considering running for office or seeking to become more active in grassroots advocacy. Participants will be broken into campaign staff teams to run a simulated congressional campaign using what they’ve learned during group sessions on strategy, vote targeting, social media, advertising and more. 
 
Registration is open through Aug. 8 or until the event reaches capacity. The Campaign School is open to AMA physician members, member spouses, residents, medical students and state medical society staff. Registration fee is $350 for AMA members and member spouses, or $1,000 for non-AMA members. This fee is waived for AMA residents and students; however, as space is limited, the AMPAC Board will review and select four participants from the pool of qualified resident and student applicants.
