TMA Member Sections

  • There’s no question the Texas Medical Association’s membership is diverse. And TMA’s six member sections capitalize on that as microcosms of the association itself, offering participants a chance to stand up for physicians and to improve patients’ health through professional development, policymaking, and advocacy.
