Typical Day at the Capitol
- You should arrive at the Capitol no later than 9 a.m. You will go directly to the Legislative Medical Aid Station located on the second floor. Plan to be at the Capitol from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., even though you may finish earlier.
- You will be introduced in both the House and the Senate chambers at the beginning of the Session Day.
- Every day of the session a doctor and nurse provide minor medical care at the Capitol’s Medical Aid Station. You are strongly encouraged to bring your “black bag” and a prescription pad.
- MAG staff will be available at the Capitol to answer any questions you have.
This program is a non-political service MAG provides to Georgia legislators. You will not be asked to, and we request that you do not lobby when you serve as Doctor of the Day.
