Member Services 

Become a Member

The North Carolina Medical Society was formed by physicians over 160 years ago to protect the profession of medicine and to improve the quality of healthcare in North Carolina. Joining the Medical Society makes you a part of this tradition of advocacy on behalf of doctors and patients, allowing the Society to be your voice on issues pertaining to your practice.

The state Society works hand-in-hand with all levels of organized medicine—from the national American Medical Association to the local county medical societies—encouraging membership at all three levels to best represent physician and patient needs.

Active physicians, retired physicians, physician assistants, residents, fellows, and medical students are all invited to become members alongside the nearly 12,000 current members of the North Carolina Medical Society. For more information on membership or to join over the phone, contact the Member Services Department at 1-800-722-1350.
