About SCMS...


The Sangamon County Medical Society (SCMS) is the professional, scientific organization of over 1,000 medical and osteopathic physician, resident and medical student members working in Springfield and Sangamon County. We are the local affiliate of the Illinois State Medical Society (ISMS) and the American Medical Association (AMA).

Founded in 1899, our office is located within the newly created Illinois Medical District of Springfield, and is now the second largest county medical society in Illinois. Although membership is voluntary, SCMS members understand that quality medical care means being involved with legislative advocacy, public information and community health education and affairs. We provide physicians with connection to their peers, credibility within their own profession and with the public, and access to critical and timely information.

SCMS provides a community physician referral service for our members, educational and social opportunities, newsletters and peer review mediation. Programs are sponsored throughout the year that will enrich your experience in medicine, improve your ability to practice your art, and bring you into social contact with your colleagues.

Dedicated to helping physicians serve their patients, we are represented by two District Trustees, who serve on the Board of Trustees and by 11 Delegates and six Alternate Delegates, elected annually, who express recommendations to the legislative and policy-making Illinois State Medical Society House of Delegates.

The active participation of our members is the lifeblood of this organization. We hope you will share your energy and your ideals with us. To find out more about the organization that best serves its profession, click on the links below:
