CMA Board of Directors has an opening for a new leader.
The CMA is an organization of physicians and other experts working together to support physicians and advance the community through professional advocacy, education, and services.
This mission is accomplished through the guidance of our Board of Directors. By serving, board members are able to engage with a diverse group of colleagues from all specialties and systems and have the opportunity to lead the community of physicians in central Ohio.
Are you interested in being considered for a place on the CMA Board of Directors? The CMA's Nominating Committee will meet in early February. To be considered, please email CMA CEO Dr. Robert Falcone by February 4th or call 614-240-7410.
How can physicians engage with others on social media?
"It is prudent for this generation of medical professionals to be knowledgeable of social media, as it is the modern route for sharing ideas and keeping us current."
- A. Mehran Mostafavifar, MD, MBA (Chair of CMA Social Media Task Force)
It’s no longer a question of whether you need to use social media, it’s a question of how to keep up with the changes in social media strategy. Social media is used to maximize branding, influence, and credibility. It has changed the world with regards to immediacy of information, decentralized information flow, and creating a global marketplace.
Join our Member Experience Committee
“The membership committee has the broad purpose of promoting participation in the CMA and its specific activities, including professional networking, patient advocacy, and health policy advocacy."
- Dr. Kanny Grewal (CMA Secretary-Treasurer and Chair of the Member Experience Committee)
