When I started working as the Relationship Coordinator for the Australian Traditional-Medicine Society (ATMS), I was tasked with helping students find their feet and learn about their industry. I am a naturopath and have been a member of ATMS for almost 20 years. My own experiences moving from student to accredited practitioner are what make me so driven in my role to ensure that others know the benefits of becoming a member of an accredited association.
When we are studying, we become so focused on the content that it’s sometimes hard to see past the studies and into the future of being an accredited practitioner. There are several reasons I was initially attracted to ATMS and why I continue to renew my membership each year. The main reason is the knowledge and support they share with their members.
