Letter from the Physicians Society of Central Florida President

Advocacy The Physicians Society of Central Florida (PSCF) PAC is a bipartisan physician-led organization committed to supporting candidates that embrace the sanctity of the physician-patient relationship and will advance a pro-physician and pro-medicine agenda in Tallahassee. The PSCF is entitled to send approximately 40 delegates to the Florida Medical Association (FMA) Annual Meeting each year to represent the association in the FMA House of Delegates. PSCF is one of the largest county society delegations in the state of Florida at this annual meeting. Our delegation helps to shape the FMA agenda for the following year and is a rewarding experience for members of all backgrounds. During legislative session each year the PSCF provides weekly updates on the debates taking place in Tallahassee that will impact the practice of medicine in the state of Florida. Our staff brings members up to speed each week on developments with our legislative priorities and how you can participate in the process.

PSCF Mentorship Program The PSCF Mentorship Program is a source of encouragement, advice, and support for first year through fourth year local medical students. The program is centralized in its support and decentralized in its execution in that the mentor/mentee decide when, where, and how often they want to meet, write, or talk. PSCF matches, monitors, and supports the mentor/mentee relationship. Throughout the year, the PSCF asks the mentor/ mentee pairs to look at their goals for the year, check-in to report their progress, and guide them through a closure plan at the end of the year that is purposeful and natural. Physician members get a lot of personal satisfaction from helping future physicians and find it as a way to give back to their profession while at the same time connecting to that passion that brought them to the practice of medicine.
