Committees

Medical society and association membership can give physicians a sense of belonging and meaning, while also remaining as a source of grounding and support. To our members who are looking for a way to get involved and engage with fellow physicians, there are many options available at the county level outside of elected Board members. Committees are established each calendar year. Attendance at committee meetings by committee members are strongly encouraged.
