State Resident, Fellow Leaders and Medical Society Contacts
Becoming involved in organized medicine is an essential element to a career in medicine. It provides a wonderful educational opportunity for young leaders like yourself to become aware of critical health care issues and a better understanding of the environment they practice in, thereby helping you in your own practice endeavors.
Contact your local state AMA-RFS Chair to become active and involved in the AMA and your state medical society.
