This is your Medical Society—the greater the involvement, the stronger the Medical Society. NHMS offers several ways for you to engage with your fellow NH physicians.  In addition to the Council and Standing Committees, there are opportunities to participate in several Advisory Councils under the Bowler-Bartlett Foundation, which is the 501(c)3 organization of the Medical Society.
