Broward County Medical Association

What Broward County Medical Association does

Broward County Medical Association (BCMA) is a private, nonprofit professional medical association founded in 1926 and headquartered — by mailing address — in Jacksonville, Florida, while operating in service of Broward County. Its mission is to promote the integrity of patient care and public health and to enhance the professional interests of physicians in Broward County. The organization unites allopathic and osteopathic physicians of all specialties as well as Physician Assistants, and operates an online physician directory that patients use to identify local practitioners.

BCMA delivers its value through five core service lines: (1) professional advocacy at state and local levels via affiliations with the Florida Medical Association (FMA) and the American Medical Association (AMA); (2) continuing medical education (CME) programming, including the AI Conference 2026, the Business of Medicine 2026, Women Physicians events, and an AI-focused podcast series; (3) physician networking and leadership development through an elected board and annual galas; (4) political action via BAMPAC, a bipartisan PAC operating for over 30 years; and (5) philanthropic activity through the BCMA Foundation (BCMAF, established 1991) and the Cynthia Peterson Legacy Fund (established 2024), which underwrite medical-student scholarships. Member services are administered through the Wild Apricot membership software platform, with no proprietary technology product and no public API.

Revenue is generated across five streams — annual membership dues from physicians, Physician Assistants, and other eligible healthcare professionals; event registration fees for CME programs and conferences; tiered corporate sponsorships (Founders Circle, Physician Advocate Sponsors); donations to the BCMA Foundation and Cynthia Peterson Legacy Fund; and political contributions to BAMPAC. The organization operates with 14 reported employees under Executive Director Fraser Cobbe, and its 2026-2027 president is Dr. Christopher Chang. Pricing for individual membership is not publicly disclosed; AI Conference 2026 registration is published ($20 member / $30 non-member / free for residents and students), and BAMPAC suggests a $50 joining contribution.

Direct peers

• Orange County Medical Society (Florida): Central Florida county medical society serving Orlando-area physicians. Directly comparable to BCMA in operating model, geographic scope, and reliance on physician dues.
• Palm Beach County Medical Society: Florida county medical society serving a neighboring market to Broward. Shares the same county-society structural model — physician membership, advocacy, CME — and competes for the same pool of South Florida physicians.
• Miami-Dade County Medical Association: The adjacent Florida county medical association. BCMA jointly runs the Annual Medical Students and Residents Research Competition with Miami-Dade CMA in its 7th year, making them the closest direct peer by mission, member base, and programming.
• Pinellas County Medical Society: Florida county medical society on the Tampa Bay peninsula. Operates the same county-level professional-association model as BCMA, providing a comparable benchmark for membership economics in the Florida market.
• Hillsborough County Medical Association: Florida county medical association serving the Tampa Bay region. Operates the same general model of physician membership, CME, and local advocacy as BCMA, making it directly comparable in scale and scope.
• Duval County Medical Society: Florida county medical society serving Jacksonville-area physicians. Same county-society model as BCMA; relevant as a peer for programming benchmarks (events, CME, advocacy) and scale comparison.

Broad incumbents

• Texas Medical Association: One of the largest state medical associations in the U.S. While much larger than BCMA, it represents the same operating model (membership, CME, advocacy) at a different scale and is a useful structural peer for understanding the trajectory of state-affiliated physician societies.
• Florida Medical Association (FMA): State-level medical association and BCMA's Core strategic partner. Operates the same core model (advocacy, CME, membership) but at a statewide scale across all Florida physicians, encompassing BCMA as an affiliate.
• American Medical Association (AMA): National medical association and BCMA's Core strategic partner. Same professional-association model but at national scale, providing the federal advocacy umbrella under which BCMA operates.
• Medical Association of Georgia: Statewide professional medical association in Georgia, structurally identical to BCMA's state-level partner FMA. Comparable in mission, revenue model (dues, CME, advocacy), and nonprofit structure, providing a benchmark for the state tier of the same model.
