title: 2010 Medical Student Lobby Day: assessment of outcomes and future directions.
abstract: In April 2010, the Missouri State Medical Association (MSMA) sponsored the Second Annual Medical Student Lobby Day to increase student understanding of the relationship between state politics and medicine, further MSMA policy positions, remove barriers to political action, and improve future Lobby Day events. A detailed description is provided, which could be used as a reproducible model for creating similar events in other states. Participant surveys were administered and outcome data was collected and analyzed.
