Acupuncture Society of Massachusetts

5 REASONS TO JOIN the ASM:

#1. HAVE A VOICE: Acupuncture is regulated by the states. Joining your state association is grassroots involvement in your profession. It is the only way to stay in touch with crucial conversations and developments that directly impact you and your practice.

#2. WE NEED YOU: In the recent past, ASM membership and board involvement dwindled to a seriously low level. With new board members and a renewed commitment, ASM is rebuilding and there is revitalized energy for the sake of our profession. And the board can't do it alone - we need member involvement.

#3. PROTECT YOUR PROFESSION: ASM is the only legislative watchdog for the practice of acupuncture and Oriental medicine in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Without ASM and your support, threatening legislation that directly affects your livelihood could be slipped through without anyone knowing. This legislation could seriously limit your scope of practice. Or other health care professionals with minimal training could too easily become licensed acupuncture professionals and practice alongside you.

#4. PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY: It is "the Right Thing" to do

#5. BUILD THE FUTURE: We need your creative input to ensure that acupuncture is to play an even more vital role in the health care communities of tomorrow.
