The Massachusetts Medical Society
was established as a professional association of physicians
by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in an Act of
Incorporation, Chapter 15 of the Acts of 1781. Section 2 of
that Act states:
"The purposes of the Massachusetts Medical
Society shall be to do all things as may be necessary and
appropriate to advance medical knowledge, to develop and
maintain the highest professional and ethical standards of
medical practice and health care, and to promote medical
institutions formed on liberal principles for the health,
benefit and welfare of the citizens of the Commonwealth."
Vision and Strategic Direction
"The Massachusetts Medical Society will continue to be a
proactive organization. We will advocate for the shared
interests of patients and our profession. We seek to unite
all physicians and serve the common interests of the
profession. Our goals are to enhance and protect the
physician-patient relationship and to preserve the
physician's ability to make clinical decisions for the
benefit of patients. The Society will continue to encourage
the development of standards for high quality care. We will
continue to promote our code of ethics to physicians,
patients, and the public. We will work collaboratively
within the profession and with the public. The Society will
address the professional needs of physicians and take a
leadership role in the development of health care policy. We
will promote medical education, training, research, and the
continuing education of physicians. We will communicate
clearly and effectively with our members and the public to
build awareness of and support for our goals."
