TexMed 2024:

Advocate, Educate, Innovate

TexMed is TMA’s largest annual conference, and this year’s con-
ference took place in Dallas, Texas on May 2-4. It is an opportunity to
network with physician leaders, explore CME tracks, and enjoy two
keynote presentations. Attendees can also find an Expo Hall full of the
latest technologies, services and product knowledge.
During this year’s TexMed conference, BCMS physicians partici-
pated in a wide array of committees that discussed all aspects of health
issues and policy affecting the daily honored practice of medicine.
This year’s conference ended with the exciting announcement of
TMA’s newest President-elect and TMA Alliance President, who are
