Plenary Session 10 | Incoming Presidential Address, Named Awards, and Closing Remarks

Atomic advocacy is about precision, personalization, and tenacity. Using small, specific, targeted actions towards advocacy in everything we do impacts the profession as a whole. Breaking down advocacy into its smallest effective units -just like atoms in physics & chemistry-we can build a superior impact. This can occur colloquially and through atomic shifts in mindset. Specifically, through self-recognition of the value brought to each patient we treat. This talk will discuss the concept of “atomic advocacy” and the ways we see it in our routine patient care and ways we can incorporate and develop advocacy vastly for the hand therapy profession.
