In SFMS I found an organization that is enthusiastic and most importantly effective in its activism. The decision to join was easy as I felt that SFMS was the perfect way for me to be involved with making changes I am passionate about as well as learn more about needs outside my scope, and develop a network of colleagues who have the same goals and values.

I am a SFMS member because I believe—when I joined SFMS as a new doctor 25 years ago, and still believe now—that physicians need the advocacy of organized medicine to represent them and their patients with insurance companies, legislators, and public policy. The SFMS has often led the way with health initiatives that benefit our patients and our profession.
