TMAA Membership
The benefits of membership in the Tennessee Medical Association Alliance are maximized by the federation of local and state Alliances with the national organization, the American Medical Association Alliance. This federation is the largest organization representing the family of medicine in the United States. In Tennessee, eligible individuals are encouraged to join all three levels through their local Alliance. To find out if there is a local/county Alliance in your area click here. In areas without a local Alliance, those meeting eligibility requirements are invited to become Members-at-large which combines membership in the state and national levels of the Alliance.Benefits of TMAA membership
