About Us Join CMA Today
The Catholic Medical Association fulfills its mission at the local and national levels:
Chartered Guilds At the local level, the CMA is organized into “chartered guilds.” Chartered guilds can be formed at the level of a parish, city, or diocese with a minimum of 6 physicians. Members work together to support each other as well as medical students and residents; provide education; and serve the local Church and the public. Chartered guilds are organized into 11 regions, each supported by two Regional Directors. National Office From its headquarters in Philadelphia, the National Office: (1) provides administrative support for organization-wide projects (including Task Forces and the Annual Educational Conference); (2) collaborates with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and allied organizations to address ethical, legal, and policy issues at the national level; and (3) coordinates CMA’s public relations and educational strategies by issuing statements, White Papers, and responding to media inquiries. |
