LSMS Councils, Committees, and Sections Handbook
Introduction Welcome to one of the most important opportunities available to you as a member of the Louisiana State Medical Society. Councils, Committees, and Sections are the work groups of the Society that address the obstacles that organized medicine faces. For this reason, they are extremely important to the profession and to public health as the direction, activities, and programs of the LSMS are developed through these work groups. It is a privilege to serve your profession and community through appointment or election to one of your State Medical Society’s councils, committees, or sections.
