The Value of Your NCMS Membership
Your dues power advocacy, practice solutions, and trusted support.
Members receive The Weekly Dose, NCMS’s weekly e-newsletter delivered every Tuesday morning before 5 a.m. It provides clear, plain-language updates on the issues shaping medicine in North Carolina — with context, not noise.
Members also receive monthly Political Pulse podcast updates and Action Alerts that explain what’s happening, why it matters, and what to watch next.
Every day, decisions about reimbursement, regulations, payer policies, and legislation shape your practice and your patients' access to care.
NCMS's legislative, regulatory, and payer experts advocate for physicians, PAs, and patients across North Carolina, ensuring your voice is heard through informed advocacy that drives lasting change.
NCMS brings together physicians and PAs across specialties, practice settings, and every region of North Carolina.
Through 16 Community Connect events statewide, White Coat Days, and the annual Legislative Summit, members have opportunities to connect with peers, engage directly in advocacy, and help shape the future of medicine in our state.
NCMS is deeply invested in ensuring care reaches communities that need it most.
Through programs like the Community Practitioner Program (CPP) and CPP 2.0, NCMS supports physicians and PAs practicing in rural or underserved areas by offering meaningful loan repayment assistance. These programs strengthen the workforce while supporting clinicians who commit to serving where the need is greatest.
Insurance Solutions
NCMS connects members with insurance options designed specifically for physicians and PAs, from individual coverage to practice-level solutions. These offerings are curated with long-term value, stability, and the realities of medical practice in mind. Coming Soon!
Strong medicine needs strong physician and PA leadership.
Through the Kanof Institute for Physician Leadership (KIPL), NCMS offers nationally recognized leadership development programs designed specifically for clinicians — not generic management training.
Programs such as the NCMS Academy for Future Healthcare Leaders, Advanced Healthcare Leaders, and Executive Healthcare Leaders help clinicians build the skills needed to lead teams, organizations, and systems with confidence and credibility.
Supporting Clinician Well-Being — Because Burnout Is Not a Personal Failure
Clinician well-being is not an afterthought at NCMS. It’s foundational.
Members have access to tools, programs, and resources designed to support mental health, reduce burnout, and promote sustainable careers in medicine. We approach well-being as a systems issue — not an individual shortcoming.
