Notice to CCMS Members

The Officers and Directors of the Chester County Medical Society are hoping to include several additional members in the leadership of the society. There are presently several openings for additional members of the society’s Board of Directors and Delegation to the Pennsylvania Medical Society.

CCMS Board members participate in six meetings per year and set policy for the society; assist in planning special events; act as “ambassadors” with local medical staffs and physicians in various practice settings; and help other physicians throughout Chester County to see the value in membership. The CCMS Board meets bi-monthly on the first Tuesday evening of the month from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm. The meetings include a light dinner and frequently feature guest presentations.

The CCMS Delegation to the PAMED includes Delegates and Alternate Delegates who participate in the Annual Meeting of the PAMED’s House of Delegates (HOD) in late October. The HOD is the state society’s policy-making body and its proceedings are conducted with representatives of each of the county medical societies, specialty associations and “sections.” The Medical Students Section, the Resident and Fellows Section, the Early Career Physicians Section, the International Medical Graduates Section and the Women Physicians Section also hold an annual meeting in conjunction with the House of Delegates.

No experience is necessary; we’re looking for physicians who are interested in working together to help us support, protect, and advocate for our physicians and our patients. Direct patient care is not a requirement; we recognize that many physicians are involved in a wide variety of positions in medical/ hospital administration, with research and pharmacy and in many varied businesses.

To learn more about present opportunities please contact our staff at (610) 357-8531, email chescomedsoc@comcast.net or speak directly to any of our officers/directors.
