The SCMS is a unified county medical society. This means that in order to belong to SCMS, membership is required in the WSMA, and vice versa. The bylaws of both organizations support this condition of membership. Because the SCMS provides physician referrals, a membership application is required and is subject to approval by the SCMS Board of Trustees.

The SCMS and the WSMA offer a variety of benefits and services to it members. From looking out for physicians at the state legislature and the US Congress, to educating the news media and general public on health care, the WSMA and SCMS are regularly assisting and working for physicians.

To become a member in SCMS and WSMA, simply complete the membership application and return it to the Snohomish County Medical Society, 2033 Sixth Avenue, Suite 1100, Seattle, WA 98121. With your application, please provide a copy of your Washington State License. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact the SCMS office at 1-800-532-4139, or via e-mail addressed to JAL@wsma.org.
