Meetings

The Peoria Medical Society sponsors membership meetings on subjects of a timely nature, generally regarding socio-economic subjects. These meetings provide an opportunity for physicians to exchange ideas and plan for the future.

The membership meets ordinarily on the third Tuesday of each month, September-April. These are dinner meetings. All Society members are encouraged to attend. There is never a charge for spouses of members, Residents, or students. From these meetings come recommendations for Society policy and action.

Active membership in the Peoria Medical Society offers you the opportunity of playing a role in shaping the future of medicine in our community! Your knowledge, experience and involvement are vital to our accomplishments as a group and as a part of the medical profession.
