The SDSMA's Doctor of the Day program is a huge success every legislative session.

During the legislative session, the SDSMA commits to providing a physician member to serve as Doctor of the Day for the South Dakota State Legislature. This volunteer commitment involves one day of service at the State Capitol in Pierre by providing basic medical assistance to legislators and staff as needed.

January  February  March

Doctors of the Day have the unique opportunity to interact with legislators on the House and Senate floors and get a first-hand look at the legislative process and how it affects the practice of medicine.

Your presence at the Capitol shows legislators not only your expertise but also your concern for the health of South Dakotans. 

Please consider being Doctor of the Day for one day during the next legislative session in 2022.

Those who would like to volunteer may email their preferred date to Mark East at meast@sdsma.org.
