The purpose of the VOLUSIA COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY (VCMS) is to bring into one organization the physicians of Volusia County, to promote the science and art of medicine, and to foster the common interest of our members and the general public. The strength of this Society lies in its members and committees, who work for the general welfare of the practicing physician, the public, and the medical community as a whole. Established in 1902, with a handful of dedicated physicians, the VCMS has grown to more than 500 physicians and their families living and working in Volusia County. General membership meetings are held four times per year (second Tuesday of the month), giving members an opportunity to share concerns and enjoy camaraderie with other members. Our Program Committee strives to bring you speakers whose topics cover a myriad of informational material. New members are formally accepted and introduced to the general membership at these meetings. These meetings also serve as a forum for discussion with local politicians. An annual Joint Meeting with the Alliance dinner, along with occasional fund raisers, gives members a pleasant break from usual Society business.The Society publishes a Pictorial Directory of Physicians which provides information on all members including office addresses, telephone numbers, medical specialties and other pertinent biographical data. In addition, the Directory serves as a source of important community information, providing names of area hospitals, health-related organizations and other important resource numbers. We offer a free community service available to all county residents seeking the services of a physician or in need of information about health programs in our area. We provide a variety of background information on our members such as educational training, foreign languages spoken, board certification and hospital affiliation. Each caller is provided the names of at least three physicians by medical specialty and geographic location. All VCMS members are eligible for our referral service. There is no charge to our members or callers. The Society office receives more than 5,000 inquiries annually. Applications for physician support staff are kept on file in the Society office. Members may receive copies of applications for nurses, lab technicians, medical assistants, receptionists, secretaries and bookkeepers upon request. The Stethoscope, published quarterly, is written by physicians for physicians. This magazine strives to inform you about important health, practice management, legislative and community issues, and to provide a forum for physician opinions. You may also use this publication to announce new associates, scientific achievements and special honors and awards. Any member is cordially invited to write an article for this publication or submit a photograph to be considered for the front cover. Next >> |
