Get active

摘要

January is traditionally a time for making (and breaking) New Year's resolutions. If your resolution is anything like mine it could probably be summed up as eating less and exercising more than the patients in my NAFLD clinic. Perhaps I could help you to find a more original resolution for 2012 - Get Active. No, 1 don't mean get physically active, I mean get politically active. The Hepatology community is very effective when it comes to clinical care and research excellence but I do not feel that we match up to other specialties when it comes to lobbying, advocacy, and influencing the political agenda in the health field.
