Committees
NYSOMS welcomes YOUR input and interests! Committee involvement is a great way to become a leader in your medical profession at the state and national levels.
We have several active committees, and others under development. Committee participants must be members of NYSOMS and can expect a minimal time commitment of a few hours per month. Most committee meetings are scheduled outside regular work hours, typically lasting no more than an hour with teleconference/zoom capabilities available. CONTACT US today if you are interested in helping our Society grow!
