The Holiday Open House was a great opportunity for the Nashville Academy of Medicine community to come together and celebrate the holiday season. NAM members gathered in our festive space to enjoy light refreshments, meaningful conversations, and the chance to connect with colleagues.
Thank you to everyone who attended and made the evening such a success. Events like these highlight the value of community within NAM, and we look forward to more opportunities to bring members together in the coming year.

| Laws Effective January 1st | |
The following bills enacted by the 2023 and 2024 General Assembly are effective Jan. 1, 2025 or later and may be of special interest to physicians. Contact the TMA Legal Department at 800-659-1862, ext. 1645 or legal@tnmed.org with any questions.

Due to a federal court ruling entered on the evening of December 3, 2024, the January 1, 2025 deadline for most corporations to file Beneficial Ownership Information Reports is placed on hold for now. Corporations, including most medical practices, no longer have to file by January 1, 2025 as earlier reported.
The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas entered a nationwide preliminary injunction enjoining the enforcement of the federal Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). The preliminary injunction applies to all reporting companies governed by the CTA and the Final Rule until further order of the court. The Biden-Harris administration may appeal the preliminary injunction on an expedited basis or take other actions on the basis of the court’s decision that may result in the reinstatement of the January 1, 2025, compliance deadline for reporting companies in existence prior to 2024. TMA will closely monitor.
Strangely, the court’s decision did not specifically stay the compliance deadlines for entities formed on or after January 1, 2024. If your practice falls under this narrow category, TMA recommends that you go ahead and file or seek direction from legal counsel.
Entities which already filed need take no further action.
Questions may be addressed to the TMA legal department at legal@tnmed.org.

| MFN Physicians Ball was a Success! | |
The 2024 Physicians Ball was a great success, with more than 100 guests coming together to support the Medical Foundation of Nashville on Saturday, October 26, 2024. Attendees enjoyed a delicious three-course dinner, danced to a lively band, and bid on unique items in a fun silent auction. Board Chair Marilynn Michaud, MD, shared updates on the Foundation’s achievements, celebrating the impact our community of physicians continues to have.
The event fostered a celebratory atmosphere for physicians to connect outside of the clinical setting while raising critical funds for the Foundation’s ongoing work. Special thanks to our sponsors HCA Healthcare / TriStar Health, Kraft CPA's, SVMIC, and Tennessee Oncology, as well as our patrons, ticket purchasers, and generous donors.
Check out some sneak peek photos from this unforgettable night!
