  • Bexar County Medical Society

  • The Bexar County Medical Society was the first county medical society formed in the state of Texas in 1853. The Society represents 4,000+ physicians in Bexar and contiguous counties. Membership is made up of practicing physicians of all specialties, also including academic physicians, military physicians, physicians in their residency, medical students, and retired physicians.

    The Bexar County Medical Society works in close cooperation with other county medical societies and with the Texas Medical Association. Often the efforts of all of these organizations are combined to their mutual best interests. A good example is the recent passage of medical tort reform in Texas through the passage of the constitutional amendment, proposition 12. This was a joint effort to ensure access to care for patients.

    BCMS is a physicians’ organization, and therefore is organized and defined by physicians’ interests. The Society operates approximately twenty committes open to participation by all members, that address such issues as socioeconomic, legislative, health and rehabilitation, medical schools, legal issues, censoring, mediation, communications, membership, emergency medical services, emergency management, military, nominating, peer support, public health, and women in medicine.
