Why join a Committee?

Maricopa County Medical Society (MCMS) knows physicians, residents, and medical students are busy people. Yet, its coming together for a collective cause such as organized medicine and the well being of all physicians across the state is why participating in committees is important. 

​

You don't have to worry about a heavy time commitment as the MCMS Board and staff are currently working ensure your participation is both reasonable and impactful per your other life commitments.

Help review policy issues affecting physicians across Arizona and make recommendations for the MCMS Board to act on.
