Why do coalitions need physicians?
• Most people trust their health care professionals• Established, credible members of communities
with significant influence• We represent strong political allies (AMA, AAP,
etc)• We are the final word on the health science of a
public debate• We have personal contact with patients and can
tell their stories

Engage other physicians
• Professionals• Create a “deeper story” by consolidating data
from the clinical/patient perspective and community perspective
• Have a defined role for their participation. Have a realistic “ask” of them that builds off of their skills and talents.
• Be respectful of time constraints. Health care professionals are often juggling clinical care, academic work, after-hours call, administrative responsibilities, and family time.
