ABOUT US
Especially in these unprecedented times, the practice of medicine is evolving by the day, hour, even minute. Physicians are found at a unique crossroads, balancing their intimate knowledge of and advocating for their patients' needs, intersecting with the ability to leverage influence to change health care system delivery, dismantle social barriers and impact political policy.
ICMS provides our members with the information and tools you need to stay current, anticipate developments, and make decisions as they relate to your practice and your patients in this rapidly changing environment.
