A MESSAGE FROM OUR FSMA PRESIDENT

Jeanette Tyler, CMA (AAMA)

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
–Ralph Waldo Emerson

FSMA has always been a leader in AAMA—even predating its founding! As the first state society to hold annual meetings (since 1954) and one of the first to conduct the CMA exam (1963), Florida has long welcomed all medical assistants, regardless of credential, to learn and serve.

As FSMA President, I am committed to advancing education, professionalism, and advocacy for our field. Together, we strengthen our profession, support one another, and ensure excellence in patient care. Let’s continue FSMA’s tradition of leadership, innovation, and inclusivity.

Together, we can keep “FSMA—Leading the Way!”

Yours in solidarity,
Jeanette Tyler, CMA (AAMA), BAS
FSMA President

FSMA

Committed to supporting a positive awareness of medical assisting and the recognition of the FSMA as its representative.
