Anesthesiology Resident Selected as TMA Resident Council Chair

Patrick McFarland, MD, Anesthesiology Resident, has been selected as the Tennessee Medical Association Resident and Fellow Section Governing Council Chair for 2016-2017. The Resident and Fellow Section is an organized membership of TMA that helps focus attention on issues unique to Tennessee resident physicians and provides a forum for residents and fellows to communicate with each other and the membership at large. In addition, RFS members help create TMA policy and help shape the environment in which they will one day practice medicine.

According to TMA, it is the state's largest professional association for physicians, bringing all physicians together in efforts to continually improve effectiveness of physician care and ensure proper policy to serve the best interests of patients and the profession. Open to all medical doctors or doctors of osteopathy licensed to practice in Tennessee, the TMA currently has more than 8,000 members who also participate in local, regional and specialty medical societies throughout the state.
