Becoming a member of the OMS Action Network is simple, with two pathways available. OMSs can either become a member in conjunction with their role as an OMS leader in a key position or complete one of eight advocacy activities in a calendar year. All OMS Action Network members receive insider information on issues most important to the specialty. No matter which pathway is chosen, all OMS Action Network members strengthen the specialty’s collective voice and advance the cause of the profession.
