NYCU December 17, 2019 December 18, 2019 CMA, CMA Benefits, General, Member Social, Prop. 56, SDCMS 0 TUESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2019 PHYSICIANS: As we approach the end of the year, we are preparing for a year–long commemoration of the 150th Anniversary of the founding of the San Diego County Medical Society. The January issue of San Diego Physician will present our first feature on SDCMS' founding in a wonderful article by Dr. James Grisolia, a 40–year SDCMS member, with the help of SDCMS staffer Sue Fledderjohn, our own in–house historian. 2020 will also be an exciting year as we enter a new decade of working successfully on behalf of San Diego County physicians and their patients. A reminder that we are holding the 11th Annual SDCMS “Outstanding Medical Office Manager” contest. SDCMS wants to recognize San Diego County's most outstanding medical office manager/practice administrator. SDCMS Member physicians can nominate their office managers by explaining in writing (up to 600 words) why their office manager is the BEST in San Diego County. Nominations will be accepted through Tuesday, December 31st, 2019. The winner will receive a $200 gift card and recognition as San Diego County's Medical Office Manager for 2019! Contest results will also be published in the February 2020 issue of San Diego Physician magazine. Please email your nominations to Hanna.Basler@SDCMS.org. Remember, only submissions from physician members will be considered. All of us at the San Diego County Medical Society want to wish you and yours a wonderful holiday and look forward to a Happy New Year! We hope you are able to enjoy some quality time with family and friends. As always, let me know if you have any questions!
