San Bernardino County Medical Society's (SBCMS) mission is to promote the science and art of medicine, the care and well-being of patients, the protection of the public health and to promote the betterment of the medical profession. SBCMS is only as strong and powerful as the physicians who choose to belong. When you join SBCMS, you join a network of nearly 2,800 San Bernardino County physicians (SBCMS) and nearly 44,000 California physicians (CMA) who are working together to achieve a unified health front and fight against unfair payment practices, restrictions on physician autonomy and more. You can choose to be a highly active SBCMS/CMA leader who analyzes and develops policy, or you can simply elect to stay informed on current issues and enjoy the many resources and benefits that come with membership. Either way, your membership demonstrates a true commitment to improving medicine and healthcare for all. The bottom line is, when you join SBCMS/CMA, you hire a powerful professional staff to protect the way you practice medicine from legal, regulatory, and legislative intrusions. Your membership lets you focus on what's really important: your patients. SBCMS/CMA will take care of any request you may have, big or small. If we don't have the answer, we will surely find it. It's like having an additional staff person working for you! If you took full advantage of the services and benefits available to you, you would more than compensate for your dues investment.
