Indiana State Medical Association, formerly the Indiana State Medical Society hosted its 47th annual session on May 28th and 29th 1896, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. It started in 1849 as a way to build a community of physicians and create a consistency of quality patient care. The society provides professional resources and opportunities for their members to engage in current policies that affect the medical practice. ISMA's mission is for Indiana physicians to collaborate on quality care, participate in professional workshops, and continue education. The Indiana State Medical Association has become a successful annual meetup, with 9,500 members as of 2024.
