Incoming TMA President Ray Callas, MD's 26 years of experience as a member have prepared him to lead the association at a time when Texas physicians face economic challenges and when the state simultaneously faces a record influx of new physicians amid a workforce shortage. Both, he says, are opportunities that put organized medicine in a unique position to offer feasible solutions. TMA also debuts its newest leadership development program for physicians at every career stage, and the TMA Alliance’s outgoing and incoming presidents share their passion for building and bonding the Family of Medicine.
