Membership with the Idaho Medical Association (IMA) is complementary to students. The IMA is a network of physicians, residents, medical students and para-professionals who work together to address important political issues and concerns affecting health care in Idaho. Of great importance to you, as students, is IMA's continued involvement in establishing greater access to medical education for students in Idaho.

If your future plan is to practice medicine in Idaho, we encourage you to maintain your membership with IMA. The decisions that are being made now affect your practice tremendously and your voice can help shape medical legislation in Idaho. IMA is also an excellent resource for IMA membership benefits include scholarship opportunities, financial planning services, legislative updates and discounts on wireless services through Verizon.

The IMA provides FREE membership for medical students and asks only that students update their profile annually in order to maintain current contact information so that you can enjoy the full benefit of your membership. For students new to the IMA, we look forward to your participation.
