There has never been a more important time to be a member of the San Bernardino County Medical Association (SBCMS) and the California Medical Association (CMA). In today’s environment of rapid change and seeming instability, the SBCMS and CMA provide steady support for your profession, practice, and patients.

Membership is open to all licensed Physicians who live and/or work within San Bernardino County; and all Medical Students, Interns, Residents and Fellows who are attending an accredited institution.

  • Resident Physician: Resident, intern or fellow physician enrolled in accredited medical training, intern or fellowship programs in San Bernardino County
  • Medical Student: Students whose medical school or residence is located in the Society's geograhic region are eligible for membership

Membership in SBCMS automatically confers membership in CMA as well; it is a dual membership. The key to our organization’s strength is its excellent collaborative relationships with CMA and other component medical societies. Furthermore, the dual membership helps support state and local activities as well as providing you with additional member benefits.

SBCMS accepts payment by check, Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express credit cards. You can remit a lump-sum payment, or set up a monthly installment plan with a credit card. To sign up for the monthly installment plan, contact SBCMS at (909) 273-6000 or scobb@sbcms.org.

SBCMS and CMA dues are not deductible as a charitable contribution for federal income tax purposes, but may be partially deductible as a business expense. To find out the percentage of your current year's dues that can or cannot be deducted as a business expense, please consult with your CPA or tax professional.
