ACCMA committees help shape the Association’s policies and programs to support physicians, strengthen the medical profession, and improve care for patients. Committees are advisory to the ACCMA Council (board of directors) and develop recommendations which are decided by the Council. Serving on a committee is a great way to connect with colleagues and help shape the work of the ACCMA. Serving on a committee is also manageable for practicing physicians; committees mostly meet virtually, approximately quarterly, during the evenings.
Committees are open to all ACCMA members. To apply, click here. Nominations are accepted year-round. Contact the ACCMA with any questions at (510) 654-5383 or accma@accma.org.
