2023 Doctor of the Day Volunteer Signup

Registration is closed

Serve as Doctor of the Day at the State Capitol

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

The SDSMA is asking members to volunteer for one day at the State Capitol during the 2023 state legislative session. Select 'Register' to sign up for available dates.

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

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.
Eligibility. All volunteers participating in the SDSMA Doctor of the Day program must hold a current, valid license to practice medicine in South Dakota. Additionally, volunteers must maintain medical malpractice coverage. If you currently do not have coverage, please contact the SDSMA for assistance in obtaining coverage for the day.
