Connect with Your Colleagues at Nevada State Medical Association

“Engage for a Bright Future,” NSMA’s 113th annual meeting and scientific session, is being held Aug. 25-27 at the all new Renaissance Reno Downtown Hotel. The newly refurbished hotel, located on the banks of the mighty Truckee River, will be an enjoyable venue to continue our work as physician and patient advocates.

Your participation as a member, delegate, or alternate delegate is vitally important as NSMA convenes the house of delegates to formulate and articulate the association’s policies and legislative positions.

The session kicks off Friday with the NSMA council meeting, a membership strategic planning meeting, the opening of the house of delegates and culminates with an opportunity to earn two units of CME provided by Dr. Lesley Dickson and co-sponsored by Saint Mary’s Regional Medical Center: “Suicide Prevention: How to Save a Life.”

On Saturday, the house of delegates and reference committees will meet to consider and evaluate proposed resolutions. Plan on attending our new scientific poster session where our state’s medical students present their scholarly work. In the afternoon, join us for a friendly rivalry of bocce ball. Families are welcome to join this event.

On Saturday evening, we celebrate our members with the installation of our 113th NSMA president, Steven Parker, M.D. and NSMA Alliance president Jean Mullins. We also will be honoring a few of our outstanding members with the Distinguished Physician Award, the Community Service Award, the Robert W. Shreck, MD Award, and the President’s Awards. NSMA also looks forward to honoring Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske with the Nicholas J. Horn Award.
