The Resident and Fellow Section of the Minnesota Medical Association is open to any physician in an accredited residency or postgraduate fellow program in Minnesota who is a member of the MMA and his or her local component medical society.
The purpose of this section is to give resident physicians a greater opportunity to participate in the Minnesota Medical Association and a more direct role in MMA policy deliberations.
The Governing Council of the RFS consists of the officers of the section, the resident member of the MMA Board of Trustees, and four members-at-large, elected at the annual business meeting of the section.
