With over 8,000 active members, FOMA plays a vital role in shaping healthcare policy, supporting continuing medical education (CME), and promoting patient-centered, holistic care rooted in the osteopathic philosophy.

FOMA serves as a vital bridge between Florida’s osteopathic community and the broader healthcare system. Its mission is to improve public health, while upholding the core values and principles of osteopathic medicine. For patients, this means better access to compassionate, well-informed physicians who are dedicated to treating the root cause of health issues and not just masking the symptoms.
