National Representation of State Regulatory Issues
Mission
"To provide an organization through which member agencies may work
together to better assure the protection of the public through
good communication about licensure, practice, regulatory activity and
professional disciplinary action and to promote the delivery of
quality healthcare to the public."
History
- In 1997, several state Boards banded together to establish the
Federation of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Regulatory Agencies
(FAOMRA).
- This was done to fill the void at the national level for
representation of state regulatory issues by boards and agencies
regulating the Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Profession.
National Representation
- FAOMRA works closely with professional and certifying
organizations such as the ACAOM, NCCAOM, CCAOM, and the AAAOM.
- FAOMRA convenes annually in conjunction with the meetings of
the AAAOM. The public is welcome.
