I’m an emergency physician, and I refuse to belong to ANY of my professional organizations.
ACEP has position papers on a host of issues, from no-nukes, gun control, corporal punishment, land mines, and any number of other causes celeb. They have multiple issues on which I disagree with their position. AAEM, while more apolitical than ACEP, has unfortunately taken a cue from ACEP, and likewise jumped into divisive political issues.
I have nowhere to go… and so I belong to none of them. They will not get one dime of my money to support political positions that I find abhorrent.
And the American Medical Association? Don’t make me laugh… they’re the worst.
