I teach #advocacy based on lessons learned from watching physicians and scientists and talking with them. I’ve found disagreements on what people consider advocacy involving the negative definition.

Is dissemination of information advocacy? Or is #SciComm a different? Does the audience matter?

#QualityImprovement is taught separately but is it separate? Where is the line between #Research and advocacy? Is #CoalitionBuilding and #StakeholderEngagement advocacy?

I’d love to hear what you think

@JohnCarlson can you be more specific about the concept of #advocacy you are referring to here?

@doctavia Advocacy training is a requirement for all pediatrics residencies. Initially it was a one-month requirement as was a separate requirement for training in community pediatrics. Based on subsequent feedback the ACGME revised the requirement so that the two topics could be intermingled. We still teach these separately. In talking with colleagues nationally, we don’t have consistency in what we believe Advocacy training should be. Eg does QI count? Research? Mastering Mastodon?
