ABOUT THE SMA ANNUAL SCIENTIFIC ASSEMBLY

For over 116 years, the Southern Medical Association has brought together the entire family of medicine to educate and be educated for the purpose of improving the quality of patient care.
Join health care professionals each year to improve your patient care with the latest research and practical tips, provided by experts. The Southern Medical Association is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. SMA's premier annual live medical conference is an annual event that includes an extensive agenda addressing topics from up-to-date methods of preventative medicine to more complex subject matter and the latest research studies. Every presentation is peer-reviewed by SMA’s Planning Committee of highly respected clinicians, ensuring that all faculty content complies with or exceeds the ACCME’s educational standards.
 
This is an in-depth, multi-day conference during which clinicians and healthcare professionals of varied backgrounds and specialties convene in order to gain knowledge, provide improved care for patients and better understand other care providers across an ever-changing healthcare landscape.
