Are there local, regional, or national health issues currently in debate? Are various stakeholders forming “sides” on a health issue? Do you have a passion to improve something or “right a wrong” in the health of communities or society as a whole? Advocacy is an important topic if any of these questions spark interest. Health leaders are advocates; understanding the domain of advocacy is an increasingly important aspect of a career in health.
