How to Get Involved
Join KCMS. Help shape the future of medicine.
The KCMS Delegate Council is where physician voices become policy. Every member has the opportunity to participate, lead, and influence the decisions that shape healthcare in King County and beyond.
Become a Delegate
All KCMS members are eligible to serve on the Delegate Council. Delegates identify key issues affecting physicians and patients, develop policy solutions, and help shape legislation that improves the practice of medicine.
KCMS advances these priorities through direct advocacy, supported by our dedicated lobbyist, James Paribello. While many initiatives begin at the local level, they often influence statewide and national policy.
Delegates who are also members of the Washington State Medical Association (WSMA) may serve in the WSMA House of Delegates. As the largest voting bloc, KCMS Delegates play a critical role in shaping statewide medical policy.
The policy development cycle begins in the spring and culminates at the WSMA Annual Meeting in September, where KCMS Delegates convene to advance key priorities and strategies.
Why Participate?
- Influence legislation affecting clinical practice
