Founded in 1871, the Colorado Medical Society (CMS) is the largest organization of physicians in Colorado, with more than 7,000 members across all specialties and employment settings. Organized as a Colorado nonprofit 501(c)(6), corporation, CMS operates with 11 full-time staff.
Philanthropically, CMS created the CMS Education Foundation whose mission is to support education by providing scholarships to worthy Colorado medical students.
Through the years, CMS has also played an instrumental role in the formation and support of vital Colorado institutions such as COPIC, Center for Personalized Education for Professionals (CPEP) and Colorado Physician Health Program (CPHP), all as part of its mission to improve Colorado’s health care environment for physicians and the patients they serve.
CMS is committed to championing health care issues that improve patient care; promote physician professional satisfaction; serve as a place of inclusion and belonging for all Colorado physicians, residents and medical students; and create healthier communities. Further, the Colorado Medical Society expects all our accredited educational programs to support our mission statement of enabling physicians and healthcare providers to have the necessary competence and skills to better inform their decisions about practice changes to improve the overall quality, safety, and accessibility to healthcare for their patients for improved care outcomes.
