HOW DOES MEMBERSHIP BENEFIT ME?

*Continuing Medical Education Credits:

Meetings are linked with state of the art presentations on a variety of medical topics which provide continuing medical education credits (CME) to members.  General body meetings for members are held on the second Thursday of each month. Most meetings are sponsored by our corporate health partners and are held at the finest restaurants in the region.

*Networking:

Meetings allow a forum for members to network with other African American health care providers, allied health professionals, politicians, hospital administrators, health care reform experts, insurance company representatives, and other individuals who may affect health care provided by or delivered to African Americans.

*Nurturing Young Physicians:

The Society allows a forum for members to be supportive of African American medical students and house staff.

*Collective Local and National Representation:

The Society allows members to be represented among the largest body of African American health care providers in the state of Maryland.  Members are also represented among the National Medical Association.  This gives our members a collective voice concerning those legislative issues both locally and nationally that have a direct impact on our profession.

*Community Service:

There are numerous opportunities for members to participate in community service activities with fellow health care providers.

*On-line Directory:

The general public is now able to go on-line and search for those highly qualified health care professionals that make up the membership. This is most helpful during open enrollment for our members as there is a growing desire for many to locate a "Physician of Color".
