When was the last time you joined a Political Action Committee, lobbied on the steps of the Capital, met with your Congressman, called or emailed your Senator? If you’re like most physicians, the answer is NEVER! We’re too busy serving our civic duty taking care the patients in our community. This is precisely why you should be a member of the San Joaquin Medical Society and the California Medical Association!

When you need it, SJMS is there to help. After learning about the serious issues facing our sheriff-coroner's antiquated system, they and CMA stepped up to help us advocate for change. The result? San Joaquin is now home to an independent medical examiner's office, assuring physician autonomy and more transparency and accountability for families throughout the county.

Serving on the Board of Directors has opened my eyes to the important work SJMS is doing in the community. Not only do I enjoy working with a diverse group of my peers, I am passionate about programs, like Decision Medicine and Bridge to Medicine that strive to inspire and assist more local students to become physicians and return to our community to practice.
