Welcome to 2013. The focus of the Duval County Medical Society in 2013 is you, the member. To help kick that off, we have a number of member benefits to share with you.

FPIC is now The Doctors Company, but the same great rates and benefits, including the Tribute Plan, are still in place for DCMS Members to take advantage of.

To learn more, contact Shelly Hakes at SHakes@thedoctors.com and include "DCMS Benefit" in the email.

Continuing Education for your Staff FSCJ
We are pleased to announce the newest edition to our DCMS Membership Benefit Package.

These courses range from Microsoft Office to Customer Service, with special rates for DCMS Members and their staff only.
 
To help us get started, we need your feedback. Please take the short survey here and give us your input.
 
We will be giving away two copies of Florida's Pioneer Medical Society, the book documenting the 160 year history of the Duval County Medical Society to members who complete the survey. The drawing will take place Friday, January 11, so please, take less than five minutes to fill out the survey (same as above) here, before Friday.


Sincerely,
Bryan Campbell
 
2013 Doctor of the Day Program

 

The 2013 legislative session is just two months away and the FL Office of Legislative Services will once again be coordinating the Doctor of the Day program.  For those of you who might not be familiar with this program, since the 1960's, the Florida Legislature's Doctor of the Day program has provided lawmakers with medical care during the legislative session while serving to strengthen physician-legislator relations. During each of the 60 days of session, two physicians - one for the House of Representatives and one for the Senate - provide any necessary care to legislators, their staff members, and others at the Capitol. FMA, County Medical Society and Specialty Society member participation in the Doctor of the Day program not only provides a valuable service, but also continues a noble tradition. The 2013 legislative session begins on Tuesday, March 5 and is scheduled to end on Friday, May 3.
