MEMBERSHIP WITH TSM...Fellowship in Medicine. Advancing Excellence. Inspiring Discovery.

The Texas Society of Medicine (TSM) welcomes you to join one of the most enduring and dynamic physician societies in Texas. Rooted in nearly a century of history, TSM continues to bring together adult medicine physicians from every corner of the state—fostering fellowship, advancing knowledge, and creating lifelong professional and personal connections.

Who We Are

TSM membership includes physicians across a broad spectrum of adult medicine specialties—internal medicine, infectious disease, pulmonary medicine, cardiology, gastroenterology, and more. Members are nominated by their peers and elected by vote of the full membership, a tradition that ensures the Society remains built upon both excellence and camaraderie.

Meetings & Fellowship

The Society hosts two annual meetings each year:

  • An in-state meeting each spring, rotating across Texas.

  • An out-of-state meeting each fall, blending education with fellowship and family connection.

These gatherings feature high-quality continuing medical education (CME) alongside opportunities for fellowship, mentorship, and social events that include spouses and families. For generations, these relationships have been the heartbeat of the Society, enriching professional lives while cultivating lasting friendships.

Supporting Education

Education has always been at the heart of the Texas Society of Medicine. Through member dues, annual meetings, and ongoing CME opportunities, TSM is deeply committed to advancing the knowledge and practice of adult medicine across Texas. This dedication to education is central to who we are as a Society—it is what connects our members, elevates our profession, and strengthens patient care throughout the state.

In 2011, the Texas Club of Internists Foundation was established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization to further support these educational initiatives. The Foundation provides scholarships and program support that enhance learning opportunities for physicians. While the Foundation continues to operate under its original name, a formal name change to align with the Texas Society of Medicine is pending and will be announced once finalized.

Together—through TSM’s core mission, member support, and the work of the Foundation—we ensure that education remains the guiding purpose of our Society, shaping both the present and future of medicine in Texas.

Becoming a Member

Membership in TSM is both an honor and a commitment to advancing excellence in medicine and fellowship among colleagues. If you are interested in joining, please complete our online membership form. A District Chair from your area will contact you personally to guide you through the nomination and review process.

We invite you to attend one of our upcoming meetings—open to both members and non-members—to experience firsthand what makes TSM a unique and welcoming professional home.

We look forward to welcoming you into the fellowship of the Texas Society of Medicine.
