Abstract
Through the collaborative relationship of the South Dakota State Medical Association (SDSMA) and the University of South Dakota School of Medicine (USDSM), there has been increased awareness and interest among medical students in the legislative process and its effect on the practice of medicine and delivery of care. As a result of this educational interest, and through the collaboration of these organizations, a formal "Legislative Day" has been added to the USDSM curriculum.
