Become a Member
The most effective way you can address the many professional and public health issues facing medicine today is by joining the DuPage County Medical Society.
As a DCMS member you become part of a network of hundreds of physician advocates – physicians, residents, and students – championing the cause of DuPage County physicians and patients. Together we transform our passion for medicine into meaningful advocacy on behalf of our profession and patients.
Members value belonging for different reasons. Some join to be involved with others who share common ideals and goals, some join for the activities or benefits, and some join because advancing the profession through association is part of being a professional.
What all of them realize, of course, is that strong advocacy and valuable benefits may only be maintained through shared commitment. Together we are stronger. As a member, you can count on the following:
