MEMBER ADVOCACY
The ABC offers support for individual members who may have been unfairly targeted by other members of the medical community. In such situations where professional competence is questioned, the ABC ensures fair representation for its members. The ABC is also very involved in promoting the careers and prominence of its members through nominations and support for appointments to high office in both the public and private arenas.

PROFESSIONAL ADVOCACY
Whether it's urging medical schools to admit more African Americans to cardiology training programs, or collaborating with other ABC partners about issues affecting the cardiology profession or the wider medical community, ABC is active in and committed to professional advocacy.

IMPORTANT LEGISLATION
The ABC has a presence in Washington, DC, working alongside lobbyists to ensure identified health issues are kept on the legislative agenda. We also support other groups lobbying for changes we advocate.
