Strategic Plan

The WSMA is guided by a strategic plan, which outlines key priorities for the association, areas of focus for its work, strategic goals, and associated benchmarks. The WSMA’s strategic plan reflects the association’s commitment to its members, which is to make a difference, whether that’s by improving the practice environment, their professional status, or the care they provide to patients and communities.

2025 Strategic Plan

At-a-glance

On behalf of our members and patients, the WSMA is committed to several key priorities for 2025:

ADVOCACY: Powered by our membership we will continue to be the lead physician voice on medical and health matters to legislators, regulators and policy makers. Our advocacy work will focus on building a strong medical community and a healthy population, ensuring that all Washingtonians have access to a physician when they need one.

EDUCATION: The WSMA is committed to helping physicians develop the skills they need to thrive professionally in today’s health care environment. We invest/create/offer leadership training and education for tomorrow’s physician leaders and help current physician leaders to advance their skills. Additionally, WSMA’s educational efforts will provide top-notch educational opportunities for physicians and their teams focused on building healthy communities and ensuring equitable care.

OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE: WSMA will be a trusted, respected, strong and effective voice for physicians, their patients and the communities they care for, regardless of practice setting, specialty or career choice.
