About
The
VMS
The VMS has been providing services to Vermont physicians for more than 200
years. Along with providing assistance, information, and lobbying services
on legislative and regulatory matters, the VMS offers its members a host of
personal and professional services.
Mission Statement
The mission of the VMS is to serve the public by facilitating and
enhancing physicians' individual and collective commitments, capabilities,
and efforts to improve the quality of life for the people of Vermont through
the provision of accessible and appropriate health care services. Our
purposes are these:
• To encourage and aid the progress and
development of the sciences of medicine and surgery, and to encourage
research in those areas;
• To promote the public health;
• To encourage cooperation among
physicians in medicine and surgery, to elevate the standards of professional
skill, care, and judgment;
• To promote and follow ethical standards
of conduct to benefit patients, individual physicians, other health
professionals, and society as a whole; and
• To advance the general social and
intellectual welfare of its members.
Organizational
Framework
The individual physician member is the base of all authority in the VMS. The
decisions of our members ultimately determine the nature, direction, and
goals of the society's activities.
