      What is the Resident and Fellow Section?

      Want to make a difference? So do the members of the TMA Resident and Fellow Section (RFS). The RFS serves as an advocate for physicians and patients through resident physician involvement in the creation of TMA policy. As a section member, you can craft policies and resolutions to shape the future of medicine. Additionally, the section serves as a communication tool for residents statewide to address unique resident issues, such as resident work hours, Physician-in-Training permits, debt management, licensing and credentialing, to name a few.

      The RFS meets three times annually in conjunction with the TMA Winter Conference (January/February), TexMed (April/May), and TMA Fall Conference (September/October). All resident members are welcome to attend and participate in the meetings. Attending meetings allows you to network with colleagues, enhance your knowledge of medicine, and represent the interests of your fellow residents.

      Join today and experience first-hand how residents – like yourself – have the power to make a difference in your community and your profession.
