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
