Medical Association of Georgia

What Medical Association of Georgia does

The Medical Association of Georgia (MAG) is a 176-year-old nonprofit professional medical association headquartered at 1849 The Exchange, Suite 200, Atlanta, Georgia. Founded March 20, 1849 in Macon, Georgia (originally as the Medical Society of the State of Georgia), MAG serves as the leading advocacy body for Georgia-licensed M.D.s and D.O.s. Its membership stands at more than 8,700 physicians across every specialty and practice setting — up more than 35% since 2010 — supported by a federated network of 50 county medical societies and state specialty societies that participate directly in MAG's House of Delegates.

MAG's product surface spans legislative and legal advocacy, payer relations, malpractice insurance via a partnership with MedPro Group (operating as the MAG Insurance Agency), CME accreditation (authorized by ACCME for intrastate providers in Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee), leadership development through the Georgia Physicians Leadership Academy (GPLA, established 2007, 170+ graduates), the nation's first medical society-sponsored statewide Medical Reserve Corps, physician wellness via Georgia's Resilience Innovation Team (G.R.I.T.), the SafeHaven emotional support program, and electoral advocacy through the GAMPAC political action committee (1,000+ members). The Clinical Network, a free HIPAA-compliant physician directory built on Treatspace technology, represents its principal technology-forward initiative. Operationally, the association runs on the Atlas association management platform for member portal, CRM, event registration, donations, and membership management.

The revenue model is membership-dues-driven on a subscription/recurring basis: newly licensed Georgia physicians receive their first year free, year-one and year-two members pay $275 annually, and members in year three and beyond pay $500 annually, with group discounts available for practices of 20 or more physicians. Adjacent revenue streams include GAMPAC tiered donations ($250-$2,500 per year across Bronze, Silver, Capitol Club, and Chairman's Circle), GPLA's $1,750 year-long tuition, MAG Insurance Agency contingent income from MedPro, advertising, and event programming. The organization maintains wholly-owned subsidiaries including the MAG Foundation, GPLA, GAMPAC, the MAG Alliance (founded 1924), the MAG Medical Reserve Corps, the CME Accreditation Program, and the Correctional Medicine Committee.
