The SMA Alliance began in 1924 as a volunteer organization of physician spouses supporting the Family of Medicine.  Today, the Alliance covers 16 Southern states and the District of Columbia, and its members educate communities about health-related issues, encourage students to become future physicians, preserve medical history and achievements, and raise funds for student/resident scholarships and grants.  SMAA also continues to provide networking and support uniquely tailored to physicians and physician spouses.

Browse our new website, and you’ll see the SMA Alliance has a lot to offer, and we would love to have you join us. There is something uniquely different when a group of Southerners get together in fellowship and work toward their common goals.  Our mantra is collegiality and knowledge – something medicine so desperately needs right now.  Join our efforts for yourself.  Join for your spouse.  Let’s work together as the family of medicine to make this year a successful one.
