District Membership
The Massachusetts Medical Society consists of 20 district medical societies. For purposes of governance and member representation, membership in your district medical society is required when you join the MMS. Each District elects members as representatives
to the MMS House of Delegates, Board of Trustees, and to several district-level MMS committees to help plan programs and inform priorities.
You can join either the district where you work or live. Please indicate your choice on your application.
