The Illinois State Medical Society (ISMS) knows residency is a very busy and stressful time. That’s why ISMS and its Resident & Fellow Section are here to help you be the best physician you can be.
Membership is an investment in your future. Your annual ISMS membership dues are just $10. ISMS advocates on your behalf in the legislature, the business and law communities, and regulatory and licensing agencies, all of which have a direct impact on your residency and future practice of medicine.

- Free $10,000 long-term disability insurance for the duration of your residency
- 50 percent discount on Epocrates products
- Student loan consolidation program
