I am writing on behalf of the National Physicians Alliance. We are a
progressive physicians advocacy group that will be having our annual
conference and lobby day here in Washington, DC March 14-16th. We have
lobbied in favor of the SCHIP program and are currently exploring topics
such as disparities in medicine, guns and public health, universal health
care, and conflicts of interests in medical practice.

We recently received gifts from physicians to create a fellowship for
residents and fellows to attend the meeting free of charge. Attached is
the short application process and is due on Feb. 16, 2009. Please
distribute among your residents and fellows.

Given, that I am a local physician involved in medical education, I think
this would be a great opportunity for your residents. Residents from
George Washington, Georgetown, Children's Hospital, Howard University, and
other local training programs will be chosen for this opportunity.

Please feel free to contact me to with any questions. The meeting website
is as follows:

Warmest Regards,
