State resident and 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 RFS Chair to become active and involved in the AMA and your state medical society.
