The MSV is actively monitoring the incidence of COVID-19 in Virginia and surrounding states. We have been asked how COVID-19 may impact upcoming events including the 2021 MSV Annual meeting. MSV is following guidance from local health departments and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regarding large gatherings, including CDC recommendations on preventing the spread of COVID-19. We will keep members informed as things progress.
Questions? Please email us at memberservice@msv.org.
The Annual Meeting is a combination of important policy discussion and educational opportunities for MSV members, and a forum for all MSV members to share ideas. MSV’s House of Delegates (HOD) is the integral and primary aspect of the Annual Meeting. It serves as the policy making body of the Society. The HOD considers resolutions that determine MSV’s position on many issues. There are two sessions of HOD that occur during MSV’s Annual Meeting. They are held Friday and Sunday.
Delegates and Alternates must attend in-person to conduct the business of the House. Votes can only be cast in-person at the event. For those not attending in person, the House of Delegates and Reference Committee Hearings will be livestreamed. Virtual participation options are available during Reference Committees; however, Reference Committee MEMBERS must attend in-person.
Help inform MSV’s House of Delegates as they consider the issue of Medical Aid in Dying/Physician-Assisted Suicide (MAID/PAS)
The Medical Society of Virginia (MSV) understands how sensitive the issue of MAID/PAS is for the physician and PA community and their patients. This 14-question survey will help inform the MSV’s House of Delegates as they consider this issue.

The results of this survey will be analyzed internally by the MAID/PAS policy workgroup. Thank you in advance for your participation!
