Duval County Medical Society

The Duval County Medical Society is indispensable to the Duval County physician community. The core values of the dcms represent the four critical conditions for success of the organization: education: bringing necessary information to allow members to meet continuing education needs, stay on top of current trends, and improve the efficiency of their practices. Advocacy: working with local, state, and national elected officials to promote legislation which preserves the rights of members to practice medicine, while maintaining high standards of care. Healthcare quality: working with members, hospitals, government agencies and other groups to provide the highest possible healthcare quality for residents of north Florida. Operational excellence: professional staff continually striving to improve the benefits of membership and the financial ability of the organization to support members and fulfill the mission statement.

The items distributed included face masks, face shields, sanitizers, gloves, thermometers as well as other protective equipment that were difficult to procure during the covid pandemic.

Held a virtual continuing Medical education day to assist our members with meeting their obligations for relicensure.
