## Resource

At the 2026 ACEP Leadership and Advocacy Conference in Washington, D.C., The Frontline sits down with emergency physicians turned state legislators Arvind Venkat and Tim Reeder for a candid conversation about bringing frontline experience into the halls of government. From balancing overnight shifts with legislative sessions to navigating the realities of healthcare policy, both physicians share how emergency medicine uniquely prepares doctors to advocate for patients beyond the bedside. The discussion explores the challenges of policy making, the importance of physician voices in government, and how emergency physicians can influence meaningful change at the local, state, and national levels.
