Local physicians elected to leadership roles with Indiana State Medical Association

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana State Medical Association (ISMA) released the results of annual elections held by its 13 districts for 2021-2022. The elections were held at virtual district meetings where local members selected a district president and, in some districts, a trustee and/or alternate trustee.

As leaders in the state’s largest membership organization dedicated to physicians, medical students and the practice of medicine, ISMA district presidents serve as ambassadors in their local communities.

In addition to serving as local ambassadors, trustees represent their districts as voting members of the ISMA Board of Trustees, the organization’s executive body, and participate in the House of Delegates, which adopts ISMA public policy.

“Congratulations to all the presidents and trustees who were elected by their peers,” said ISMA Board Chair David Diaz, MD. “By taking on a leadership role with the ISMA, these officers will collectively help us work on issues affecting physicians, patients and our health care system. Their unified voice is critical to our mission of driving the future of health care in Indiana.”
