Celebrate the 70th Anniversary with Us!

As the only professional association dedicated to medical assistants, the AAMA is celebrating 70 years of excellence, advocacy, and leadership—and at the heart of it all is you.

We’re inviting medical assistants from every path and practice setting to share their AAMA story. Tell us your why—why you chose medical assisting and why you chose the AAMA.

Your story helps honor seven decades of commitment while inspiring the next generation of medical assistants. While not every submission may be published, every story matters and reflects the passion that strengthens our profession every day.

Share your voice. Celebrate your journey. Be part of our legacy.
