 TMA created the Medical Student Section (MSS) in the late 1970s to gain a student perspective among members and provide future physicians with a voice in TMA policy. This organized membership section helps focus attention on issues unique to Texas' students and provides a forum for students to communicate with each other.
Now over 4,800 members strong, the TMA-MSS section helps shape the future of medicine as members participate in the TMA and American Medical Association policy-making process and serve in slotted seats on boards, councils, and committees. In addition to the 63 slotted positions, the MSS also has a voting representative on the TMA Board of Trustees. TMA student members also are actively involved in their local county medical societies.

Lace Up Your Sneakers for Medicine
Want to improve health care in America? Want to be a catalyst for change? Want to help elect politicians who will put patients and physicians first? Participate in an upcoming TEXPAC Alliance Volunteer Days.
Join us as we roll up our sleeves, lace up our sneakers, and work in the field to elect TEXPAC-endorsed candidates. TEXPAC Alliance Volunteer Days is coming to a city near you, and we'll be calling on members of the family of medicine. Medicine faces several tight elections this season; a successful 83rd legislative session will take shape in the field in each one of these races.
Volunteering is easy and fun. TEXPAC will provide all the information you need to get started with confidence. For details, including time and location, and to register for these events, please call TEXPAC's Paula Frey at (512) 370-1361 or TMAA's Sandy Solis at (512) 370-1328. The Party of Medicine is counting on you to be there!
