Missouri State Medical Association

What Missouri State Medical Association does

The Missouri State Medical Association (MSMA) is a private, non-profit professional medical association founded in 1850 and headquartered at 113 Madison Street, Jefferson City, Missouri. Its stated mission is the protection of public health and the betterment of the medical profession in the state of Missouri. MSMA represents more than 4,000 Missouri physicians and physicians-in-training across member segments organized as dedicated sections (Women Physicians, Young Physicians, Resident Physician, Medical Student, and International Medical Graduates) and operates the peer-reviewed Missouri Medicine journal.

MSMA's core service lines are legislative advocacy (representing physicians at the Missouri Capitol, Department of Health, Department of Insurance, and Board of Healing Arts, and operating the Missouri Medical Political Action Committee), continuing medical education (Excel Educate), annual convention governance (House of Delegates), and practice resources spanning CMS MIPS guidance, controlled substance prescribing, telehealth (TPOPP), collaborative practice agreements, and emergency response. The organization is supported by affiliated entities — the Missouri State Medical Foundation (scholarships), MMPAC (political action), and MSMA Alliance (physician families). Membership and website operations are powered by Wild Apricot membership software.

MSMA's revenue model is dominated by recurring annual membership dues across tiered categories (Resident, Affiliate, full Member), supplemented by convention registrations, journal advertising and subscriptions, CME fees, MMPAC contributions, Alliance fundraising, and partnership revenue (e.g., Resolve contract review distribution). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; distribution is principally direct-to-physician through the MSMA website, county medical societies, section memberships, and in-person annual events.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• American Medical Association: National professional medical association of which MSMA is effectively a state affiliate. Highly comparable in advocacy, CME, and journal publishing, but operates nationally with much greater scale.
• American Osteopathic Association: National professional association for osteopathic physicians, parallel to MSMA's role for MDs and a natural higher-tier peer via the MSMA-MAOPS collaborative footprint in Missouri.

Direct peers

• Illinois State Medical Society: Direct state-level medical society in Missouri's neighboring state with the same core mandate: physician advocacy, CME, peer-reviewed publishing, and member services for state physicians.
• Massachusetts Medical Society: Long-established state medical society (and publisher of the New England Journal of Medicine), closely comparable in member-publishing-plus-advocacy model.
• Missouri Association of Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons (MAOPS): MSMA's explicitly named osteopathic counterpart in Missouri and formal 2023 task-force partner; identical mandate for DOs that MSMA fulfills for MDs, with overlapping CME and advocacy.
• Texas Medical Association: Large state medical association with analogous physician advocacy, CME programming, and peer-reviewed journal model; useful scale-up benchmark for MSMA's service portfolio.
• California Medical Association: Major state medical association with advocacy and member-service functions directly paralleling MSMA's, including political action and practice resources.
• Kansas Medical Society: State medical society in another Missouri-bordering state, offering the closest natural comparison on geographic scale, member mix, and legislative advocacy scope.

Emerging players

• American Academy of Family Physicians: Specialty society with significant CME, advocacy, and member-service overlap; increasingly competes with state associations for primary-care physician engagement and dues.
• American College of Physicians: Internal-medicine specialty society offering CME, advocacy, and journals that intersect with MSMA's broader physician base and represent a competing membership draw.
