Nevada State Medical Association

What Nevada State Medical Association does

Nevada State Medical Association (NSMA) is a 501(c)-style nonprofit professional medical association founded in 1875 in Reno, Nevada, operating as the state's oldest and largest physician advocacy organization. It represents Nevada-licensed physicians at the state, federal, and local government levels, lobbying before the U.S. Congress and Nevada Legislature on issues including medical malpractice liability, regulatory burden, physician payment, and access to care. Its member base is organized through unified membership with four county medical societies — Clark County, Washoe County, Carson Douglas, and rural/frontier counties — which functions as both the primary distribution channel and a compounding advocacy network.

The association's products and services center on advocacy programs (MedMal Tort Reform via the 'Your Nevada Doctors' initiative, NV MedPac political action committee), member-facing infrastructure (the Atlas web portal for member registration, event scheduling, and profile management), an annual meeting and scientific session (the 122nd edition scheduled for August 2026 at The M Resort in Henderson), six policy commissions (Public Health, Medical Practice, Long Term Planning & Membership, Government Affairs, Diversity & Equity, Finance), and a resources portal covering federal guidelines, operations, and legislative guidance. Core technology is a WordPress/Elementor CMS with the Atlas member portal and an email newsletter system; there is no proprietary technology platform.

NSMA generates revenue from four streams: recurring membership dues (with free tier for medical students and residents), corporate partnerships and advertising (leveraging a 2,900+ subscriber newsletter and event sponsorships with partners including Azova, DrFirst, Coverys, Nevada Drug Card, WPA, and CHIPD), event registration and sponsorship for the annual meeting, and tiered NV MedPac PAC contributions ($150 to $5,000+). The organization employs 10 staff across headquarters in Reno and a regional office in Las Vegas, and is governed by an Executive Council led by Executive Director Jacqueline Nguyen, J.D. and President Jay K. Morgan, MD.
