North Carolina Medical Society

The oldest professional organization within the state. The North Carolina Medical Society (ncms) began in 1849 when 25 physicians united to advance Medical science and to raise the standards for their profession. Today, we are more than 10,000 strong and champion the same goals and ideals while representing the interests of physicians and protecting the quality of patient care.
