Shape TexMed’s Future by Applying to New TMA Committee
By Hannah Wisterman

As TexMed 2024 brought Texas Medical Association events to a new high, the House of Delegates voted to continue the upward trend with the formation of a standing Committee on TexMed Education, which will continue to aid TMA’s mission to provide accurate, relevant, and engaging information for members.  

This year’s conference drew more than 1,200 attendees, who took advantage of abundant physician resources in a revamped schedule. Among those resources were more than 30 hours of CME credit, curated carefully to bring maximum benefit to physicians and their communities.  

For future events, the new Committee on TexMed Education, which reports to the Council on Member Experience, seeks volunteers who will help develop educational conferences that meet physicians' needs and interests. Responsibilities include helping select speakers and reviewing evaluations from the previous year's conference to ensure the content reflects the concerns of Texas physicians. 

Ideal candidates for the committee should be passionate about shaping TexMed. Prior experience serving on a CME committee at a hospital or specialty society is helpful but not required. Serving on the committee will entail: 

  • Minimal time commitment; most communication and reviews are done via email. 
  • Two to three virtual meetings per year, one hour each, during summer and fall. 
  • Assistance with finalizing keynote selections, as needed. 
  • Reviewing and approving CME sessions and poster submissions. 

To apply, log in to the TMA website and submit a nomination no later than Thursday, Sept. 19.
