A MESSAGE FROM OUR FSMA PRESIDENT
Jeanette Tyler, CMA (AAMA)
FSMA — Leading the Way!
In 2025-2026, the Florida Society of Medical Assistants proudly embraces the theme “FSMA—Leading the Way!” In a landmark decision, FSMA voted to move from a tri-level to a bi-level structure. This change streamlines our organization, strengthens our collective voice, and ensures we are better positioned to serve our members and advance the profession.
By fostering mentorship, encouraging innovation, and upholding the values that define medical assisting, FSMA is not only adapting to change—we are driving it. Together, we are building a future of progress, unity, and limitless possibility.
FSMA is leading the way toward a tomorrow built on creativity, resilience, and endless opportunity.
In Service and Leadership,
Jeanette Tyler, CMA (AAMA), BAS
FSMA President 2025-2026
