All NCME members are encouraged to volunteer for a committee. Volunteering to serve on a committee indicates that a member is interested in serving on a committee, but it does not guarantee a spot on a committee. NCME Members may volunteer for multiple committees each year. However, a member may serve on only one committee at a time.
We encourage you to get involved and make a difference by joining one of these committees. Please take a moment to fill out the NCME Committee Interest Form or to email NCME@ncme.org and indicate your interest. Your participation is invaluable to us.
