The NC Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology Society (NCAAIS) White Coat Day is an annual legislative advocacy event held in Raleigh that empowers allergists, immunologists, and fellows-in-training to shape healthcare policy in North Carolina. Co-hosted alongside the North Carolina Medical Society, this impactful event provides clinicians with direct access to the North Carolina General Assembly.
Attendees begin the day with expert briefings on pressing healthcare issues—such as strengthening prior authorization reform, ensuring reliable access to life-saving epinephrine in schools, and addressing health disparities in asthma care—before heading to the legislative complex to meet face-to-face with state lawmakers. By bringing real-world clinical insights directly to decision-makers, participants serve as a vital collective voice for high-quality allergy and immunology care across the state.
