Join FSOMA because:

FSOMA is the oldest Oriental Medicine professional association in the state of Florida and the largest with dues-paying members.

FSOMA’s board of directors is elected annually by the membership and is governed through our bylaws.

The Florida Acupuncture Practice Act has the distinct honor of being one of the broadest practice acts in the country, we need vigilance to keep it from being eroded.  To this end, FSOMA is the only Oriental medical association in Florida with a lobbyist.  FSOMA membership dues pay for our lobbyist who is our watch dog and voice for legislative issues that impact how we practice our profession.  Our lobbyist keeps her finger on the pulse of what’s happening in our state legislature regarding our profession.  She meets with the legislators and meets with us.

We have Acu-Ed Day, where each year our members go to Tallahassee during the legislative session, meet with senators and representatives and their aides, attend committee meetings and hearings, and demonstrate our skills in the Rotunda of the Capitol Building.

FSOMA provides educational opportunities to its members including annual State and national conferences offering reduction in cost of CEU courses and reduced rates to attend AAOM national conferences.  We have more Oriental medicine vendors at our annual meeting than you can shake a stick at. 

We keep our members current with e-mail and website postings about ongoing CEU opportunities.

FSOMA’s mission is:  To promote the profession of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine through clinical excellence, practitioner support and freedom of public access.

We maintain an active participation into the legislative process through our Lobbyist and our annual Acu-Ed Day, where we spend a day with legislators during the legislative session, educating about and demonstrating our skills.

We invite each and every licensed practitioner and student to become join us and to become active in continued maintenance of our Practice Act through open dialogue , visibility and support of the FSOMA  “ your association”.

We have an executive director who answers our association phone and your questions five days a week.

Your best reason for joining FSOMA is our continued support of your profession.

Come and be a part of it.  We welcome your membership, your involvement, and your financial support.
