How the American Urological Association and their Dr. members advocate for better health. Quardricos Bernard Driskell is a federal lobbyist, legislative and political affairs manager for the American Urological Association. Before the AUA, he worked for two patient voluntary health associations where he advanced the patient voice into policy and research deliberations through services to Congress, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and National Institutes of Health (NIH). Based in Washington, DC, Quardricos represents his company before the federal government. During Quardricos’ typical workday, he engages Members of Congress, Capitol Hill staffers, and other stakeholders in the government to develop, progress, or halt legislation that affects health care. He is an adjunct professor of legislative politics at the George Washington University Graduate School of Political Management. He is an opinion contributor for the Washington D.C. top political news site, The Hill. His work and insights have been featured in several national and international news outlets, including the New York Times, Voice of America, NBC News, MSNBC, Religion News Service, the BBC, and Showtime’s Documentary, “The Fourth Estate.” Thank you to our sponsor: Rap Index, tell them Roger sent you. https://www.rapindex.com   This podcast is dedicated to the art of advocacy.
