Madison County Medical Society

Serving You.

History of MCMS

The Madison County Medical Society is a professional organization chartered in 1877. It is composed of Medical Doctors and Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine in Madison County.

The Society is the liaison between the medical community, the lay community, the Medical Association of the State of Alabama (MASA), and the American Medical Association (AMA). MASA bills and collects yearly dues for the Society. The Medical Society works on behalf of its members in the areas of managed care, legislative issues and employer interaction that affect physicians and their practices.

Member services continue to grow as needs change and become more critical. Actions to promote and protect the sacred physician/patient relationship are uppermost.

The Board of Trustees strives to provide physician members value for their membership dues dollars.

Board of Censors

The Board of Censors of the Medical Society is composed of five (5) physician members who serve 2 year terms, and are often MCMS past presidents.

The Board reviews complaints brought against member physicians and in the event that they discover a breach in the standard of medical care, the complaint findings are forwarded to the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners (ALBME). Complaints against non-members are referred directly to the ALBME.

Based on Alabama law, this Board also serves on the Madison County Board of Health along with the county Health Officer, the Chairman of the county Commission and the County Rabies Officer.
