Pediatric Resident Advocacy

The Advocacy Committee provides a space for resident advocacy at Baylor College of Medicine/Texas Children’s Hospital. Our board has two main focuses: legislative advocacy, which can take many forms including contacting government  representatives, advocating on social media, and writing Op Eds for publication; and community outreach, through which we give back to the local community and increase our knowledge of organizations available to aid our patients. We also write and disseminate weekly advocacy updates featuring relevant educational topics and highlighting advocacy opportunities for residents. Our overarching goal is to empower residents with the knowledge and skills to be effective advocates for children’s health.
