Well, the MT membership is

free the first year and if we don't like it, we don't have to join next year, right?  I don't blame you for being skeptical, but since there's no cost, I can "afford" to give this org the benefit of the doubt. 

I do agree we need an org for only MTs, that way we aren't being sold out.

My wife and I both belonged to chapters in the Central Indiana Regional Conference. It is a good organization of mostly good people who , like yourself found themselves in the situation of single parenthood. This is a great suport group, and the only one I've found that caters to kids.

I had considered it some time ago but having seen them become so devoted to offshore MT's in India, I also agree that they are not worth being a part of let alone me sending them money for membership so they can turn around and sponsor above mentioned overseas MT's training on my dime...

I need to know the signifiance of whether a doctor is a member of the AMA or not.  What exactly does this organization do and what does their membership mean.  Any info would be helpful. I am researching a physicain who is a nonmember.
