On April 8th, physicians, and medical students from across the state gathered in Sacramento for CMA's Legislative Advocacy Day. This year, nineteen UCSC postbacc students preparing for medical school woke before the sun to take a bus from San Jose to Sacramento. While there, they met with medical students, residents, and physician leadership of the California Medical Association. At the end of the day, they also had the opportunity to sit in on a portion of a Senate Committee on Health meeting. One of the UCSC Silicon Valley Post-Baccalaureate students in attendance was Sreeveda Sreepada.
