Medical Associations are professional organizations for medical professionals. They are often based on medical specialty and are usually national, often with sub-national or regional affiliates. Medical associations usually offer conferences and continuing education. They often serve in capacities similar to trade unions, and often take public policy stances on medical issues.

Many Medical Associations have large Accounts Receivable balances to doctors and other medical groups. Providing a working capital solution to these organizations can be a profitable venture.
