The Massachusetts Medical Society’s Minority Affairs
Section (MAS) offers a forum for addressing the unique needs and concerns of underrepresented
minority physicians and the delivery of health care to minority patients and
communities. The Section’s priorities include the development of policies and
initiatives that provide career advancement and leadership opportunities for
minority physicians and increases participation and mentorship of
underrepresented minority physicians and students in the MMS.
The Section also offers members a chance to participate
in organized medicine at both the local (MMS) and national (AMA) levels. Membership
in the MAS is open to any MMS member physician or medical student with an interest in minority physicians or minority health
issues. If you would like more information or to become involved in the Section,
please call (800) 322-2303, ext. 7308.
