Doc of the Day 2010

 Join your colleagues who have served as the “Doctor of the Day”* at the Maine State Legislature. Established in 1997, the program is well respected and legislators are enthusiastic about it. Volunteering as the “Doctor of the Day” gives you a better sense of legislators’ perception of the medical profession, the importance of developing a relationship with your legislators, and promoting the medical profession among the State’s leaders.

Doc of the Day Application

*As the “Doctor of the Day,” you are provided with a beeper to respond to any health care issues that may arise with legislators, staff, or the public. You usually need to arrive at the State House by 9am (times may vary) with session ending around the noon hour.

The MOA and the MMA work diligently to secure a “Doctor of the Day” for each day the legislature is in session from January through the end of the session, June or April, depending upon the year. When you are a confirmed “Doctor of the Day,” the State House staff will mail you a confirmation letter with detailed information and a parking permit.

If you have additional questions prior to participating, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 207-623-1101. In 2009, the program was able to secure physicians as Doctor of the Day 48 out of 55 days!
