Illinois Dermatology PACYour state society's political advocacy starts with our political action committee -- the Illinois Dermatology PAC. The PAC is an entity separate from the IDS and works to be a strong advocate for the dermatology profession in Illinois by helping to support the election of candidates for state office, primarily the state House of Representatives and the State Senate. The top goal of the Illinois DermPAC is to help elect officeholders who understand the importance of a medical education and the training received by a dermatologist. We seek to support candidates who either have demonstrated through votes in the legislature or by their statements that they agree with our concerns about protecting the quality of medical and surgical dermatology care in Illinois. We also consider positions on other issues, including access to dermatology care, tort reform and medical malpractice issues, and a range of topics which would affect medical practices and small business owners in general. Among the factors the committee considers when determining support for a candidate are:
