abstract: Associations have proven to be valuable clearinghouses of information, centers for educational enrichment and switchboards for making connections between practitioners of a given profession. The healthcare central service and material management professions are represented by four associations: the American Society for Healthcare Central Service Personnel (ASHCSP), the International Association of Healthcare Central Service Materiel Management (IAHCSMM), the American Society for Hospital Materials Management (ASHMM), and the Health Care Material Management Society (HCMMS). Within these associations you will find groups of people who have interests and goals similar to yours. Pursue your interests together--join an association!
