Whether you are a recent graduate new to the profession or an old-timer with years of experience under your belt, as a physician, medical associations can be a great way to move your physician career forward.
Medical associations are professional associations for healthcare providers. They are often based on specialty and are usually national, often with sub-national or regional chapters. Membership with a medical association can help you stay on top of trends in the industry, keep you informed of continuing education opportunities and requirements, and introduce you to other professionals who could potentially enhance your medical career.
