About Us

​

Future Doctors in Politics (fDIP) is a recently established national 501 (c)(4) nonprofit working to build the next generation of doctors into a political force for patient-centric, equity-oriented change. fDIP originated at Harvard Medical School and now has multiple chapters in development at medical schools nationwide to motivate, educate, and train medical students to participate in the political process, impact public policy, and seek elected office. 

 

Organizing Priorities

 

Doctors enjoy enormous public trust but have rarely mobilized to translate this trust into effective patient-centric political and policy advocacy. At fDIP, we are fighting to change that and working to turn physician voices into the powerful organizing vehicle they should be.

​

fDIP is launching a historic, national initiative to deploy medical students in their white coats to connect with voters on the ground across the country and get them motivated to vote and volunteer for patient-centric, equity-oriented candidates and policies in the 2022 cycle.  Medical students are trained in medical school to meet patients where they are. We think this is a skill ready to be harnessed to drive voter turnout for patient-centric, equity-oriented change.  

​

About the Role

​

We are seeking a National Organizing Director to build out and lead our White Coats to Votes Grassroots Organizing Program. This role will be responsible for growing our organization by developing,  building and managing chapters, as well as identifying and elevating leaders across the United States.
