What Medical Society of Delaware does

The Medical Society of Delaware (MSD) is a nonprofit professional membership association representing physicians practicing in the state of Delaware. Founded in 1776 and headquartered at a PO Box in Newark, DE, MSD serves licensed physicians across all Delaware counties through four primary service lines: legislative and regulatory advocacy, continuing medical education (CME), practice management resources, and peer networking via 20+ standing committees covering ethics, primary care, government affairs, public health, professional education, third-party payer relations, and medico-legal affairs. The organization operates within a traditional membership association model rather than as a technology company, with no proprietary platform, AI capabilities, or API infrastructure disclosed.

MSD generates revenue through four streams: recurring physician membership dues, CME course registration fees, grants to its affiliated Delaware Medical Education Foundation (DMEF) such as the $1 million Primary Care Investment Initiative grant from Highmark BCBS Delaware, and corporate sponsorships from partners including PEAKE Technology, Curi Insurance, the Delaware Health Information Network (DHIN), Platinum Dining Group, SourcePass, the YMCA of Delaware, and WSFS Bank. Distribution occurs primarily through a member portal at msdcme.rievent.com, an online shopping cart, and direct member communications via Constant Contact newsletters. The organization publishes the Delaware Medical Journal, hosts an annual meeting, an interim council meeting, and the OBVIOUS 5k Run/Walk and Health Fair, and maintains social media presence on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook.

MSD serves as Delaware's official delegation to the American Medical Association and co-leads the 'Your Care is at Our Core' campaign with the AMA to advocate against prior authorization burdens. It holds a 2019 cross-state value-based care partnership with the Pennsylvania Medical Society (PAMED) and a 2017 health IT integration partnership with Health EC. Leadership rotates annually among elected physician presidents, with Matthew J. Burday, DO currently serving as President following Andrew W. Dahlke, MD (175th President) and Joseph J. Straight, MD. The organization operates one affiliated nonprofit foundation, DMEF, focused on medical education and primary care workforce investment.
