In 1922, the Texas Medical Association Board of Trustees had a vision of providing members with easy access to clinical information through a "package knowledge center service" as a benefit of membership dues. Today, the vision remains focused on a knowledge center staffed by professionals who provide a vital link between physicians and the overwhelming growth of information in the field of medicine. As a member of the association, you have access to this unique Knowledge Center collection.
