limited CME funds, and I already belong to my specialty society. Why should I join BCMS?" This really shouldn't be a challenging query for me. But I ask each of you to think for a moment and determine how you personally would answer that question. What does the medical society mean to you? I think the perfect answer is to look directly to our Compass. Notice that the logo is circular, with no one component more prominent than the other. It gives each of us the opportunity to find his or her own niche. Professionalism - As physicians, we hold ourselves to a high standard. The Medical Society offers services to guide physicians in need of support as well as those patients who have a grievance to offer. I am pleased to report that those grievances are few and far between. Education - In 2019, we have innumerable sources for medical education. But supporting our local residencies at Penn State St. Joseph Hospital and Tower Health Reading Hospital is an important part of our mission. Many of these residents go on to become our professional colleagues. The Residents Day program is well received. We average 100 participants and in 2018, 30 resident posters were submitted. With the upcoming emergence of a medical school in the county, the Medical Society will have the opportunity to play an impartial supportive role to our future physicians as well. continued on next page > Building Beauty & Value Into Home & Family Put the mower, blower and yard tools away with an Express Lawn & Landscape Annual Maintenance program.
