Massachusetts Medical Society: Membership Overview V2

Membership Overview V2

Medicine works better when physicians have the power to shape it.

You entered the medical profession to care for patients.

But every day, many of the forces influencing your career and your ability to diagnose and treat your patients originate beyond the exam room.

That’s why your membership in the Massachusetts Medical Society is invaluable — extending your capabilities to do what’s best for your patients, your profession, your career, and your future in medicine.

Choose the membership path that applies to you, and shape what comes next.


Individuals

Physician Membership — $250 introductory rate for New Members

Strengthen your career and practice, stay ahead of change, lead the profession, and add your voice experience when it comes to positively influencing the conditions in which you and your colleagues practice when you belong to the MMS.

What’s more, you’ll also have member-only access to other resources designed specifically to help you successfully navigate the operational and clinical realities of medicine in a complex healthcare delivery environment.

Available to physicians with an MD or DO who live or work in Massachusetts who have not been members in the past. Please note: Additional District medical society dues are required.

Resident and Fellow Membership — Free to $150

Augment your training with leadership opportunities and knowledge that you didn’t get in medical school as a resident or fellow member of MMS. You’ll join an active community of other residents who are not content with the status quo, and eager to make their mark by actively shaping health policy that will impact your careers for years to come.

Most residents and fellows qualify for a free membership through their training programs to access career resources, leadership opportunities, advocacy, and a professional community.

Practices, hospitals, health systems, community health centers, and resident training programs engender staff loyalty and appreciation — while also saving limited fiscal resources — when providing medical staff with access to leadership education and professional development opportunities that supports physicians and residents.
