MCMS Member Committees
Maricopa County Medical Society (MCMS) knows physicians, residents, and medical students are busy people. Yet, its coming together for a collective cause such as organized medicine and the well being of all physicians across the state, which is why participating in our committees is important.
​
MCMS committees revolve around policy, public health, DEI, media, and a medical student section.
