Welcome to

The St. Clair County Medical Society

Don't Forget to Renew Your Membership!

Being a part of organized medicine is an investment in your future.

You should have received your St. Clair County and Madison County Medical Society membership dues renewal notice for the year 2008. Please be sure to renew this important membership so that you can continue enjoying valuable membership benefits.

After nearly 50 years of unified membership with the American Medical Association (AMA), ISMS has dropped the unification requirement. For the first time, doctors have a choice of rejoining SCCMS and ISMS without having to maintain AMA membership. While membership in the AMA is not mandated, it certainly is to our benefit to support the AMA, as a strong advocate for the practice of medicine.

Should you have any questions about SCCMS or MCMS membership renewal, do not hesitate to contact us at 397-5315.
