Doctors' Lounge: How to Improve Your Political Success Without Running for Office

You’re invited to join us at our upcoming free Doctors' Lounge on May 1, featuring Reps. Arvind Venkat and Jared Solomon, who will be speaking on how to improve your political success without running for office.

Rep. Venkat is an emergency physician who is also the first Indian American to be elected to the state House and the first physician to serve in the General Assembly in nearly 60 years. Rep. Solomon is an attorney and former Army Reserve JAG officer and serves as Chair of the Veterans Affairs & Emergency Preparedness Committee.

Facing rising rates of burnout and loneliness, some doctors are calling for the return of physician lounges. Once a fixture of hospitals, these dedicated spaces for health workers to rest and socialize went out of style in recent decades as a result of cost-cutting measures.

Our Doctors' Lounge series is designed to bring physician and trainee members of the Philadelphia County Medical Society and The College of Physicians of Philadelphia together over food and drink to socialize and learn from expert panelists on how to use one’s medical degree to advance their goals in business, public health, leadership/administration, and politics. Attendees are welcome to bring a guest.
