Government Relations
The TMA advocates on behalf of Tennessee physicians to pass public policy and legislation that improves the practice of medicine, both at the state and federal level, and benefits patient care for all Tennesseans. We are the only statewide organization representing physicians from every medical specialty. We encourage physicians to become advocates for their profession and learn the legislative process.
