The Medical Association of Georgia (MAG), founded in 1849, is the leading advocate for physicians in the state. With over 8,700 members, including physicians in every specialty and practice setting, MAG focuses on legislative, legal, and third-party payer issues, working closely with county medical societies, specialty societies, and other state medical associations.
MAG's primary legislative and policy-making body is the House of Delegates (HOD), which consists of delegates representing county medical societies, specialty societies, and various sections. The association also has standing and special committees that address specific areas of interest, such as Continuing Medical Education and Correctional Medicine. While separate from the American Medical Association (AMA), MAG's HOD elects an AMA delegation to represent Georgia's physicians at the national level.
