Dear Medical Assistants,

As President of the Illinois Society of Medical Assistants (ISMA), I want to personally invite you to join or renew your membership with the American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA). Your membership is not just a credential—it’s an investment in your career, your profession, and the future of medical assisting in Illinois and across the nation.

​

Why Join AAMA?

Your membership provides an array of valuable benefits, including:

• Advocacy & Representation – AAMA fights for your rights at the state and national levels, ensuring medical assistants have the legal recognition and opportunities they deserve.

• Educational Opportunities – Access to continuing education (CEUs) to maintain your CMA (AAMA)® credential and stay current with industry advancements.

• Networking & Professional Growth – Connect with peers, mentors, and industry leaders through conferences, local chapter meetings, and online communities.

• Exclusive Discounts – Save on certification exam fees, study materials, and other professional resources.

• Career Advancement – Gain access to job boards, career development tools, and employer-recognized certification.

• Prestige & Credibility – Stand out in the healthcare field as a credentialed and highly qualified professional.

​

Breaking Down the Cost

AAMA membership is only $97 per year—that’s just 27 cents per day! Less than the cost of a cup of coffee, this small daily investment provides lifelong professional benefits and supports the fight to protect and advance our profession.  JOIN NOW

​

Your Membership Makes a Difference

Without strong membership numbers, we would not be able to advocate for medical assistants in Illinois and nationwide. Your support allows us to push for legislation that protects our scope of practice, creates more career opportunities, and elevates the profession as a whole.
