6. NEW SPORTS ACUPUNCTURE FACEBOOK GROUP
Make sure to join our NEW Sports Acupuncture Facebook Group! This sports acupuncture community shares clinically relevant discussions that can help you improve your practice—and we'll be posting new class openings there as well.
We began moderating this new group on July 1, and it's open to all Licensed Acupuncturists and Acupuncture students (proof required) and will allow all members of the group to post. The group will be closed to the general public, but is not exclusive to C.SMAs. Others training in Sports Acupuncture will be welcome to post, though we think that the group will reflect Sports Medicine Acupuncture, especially if C.SMAs post
frequently.
Below is a portion of the statement that will appear in the 'About' description:
"This group is open to licensed and registered acupuncturists. The goal of this sports acupuncture group is to build unity in the field of Sports and Orthopedic acupuncture and to promote this field within the larger acupuncture community. While the administrators of the group are the creators of Sports Medicine Acupuncture®, sports and orthopedic are welcome to post and discuss. The group is lightly moderated. Information from
all traditions of acupuncture are welcome and encouraged, as they are collectively integrated into this forum, but please keep the conversation relevant to the above stated goals."

Did you know that UP offers a 20% discount when signing up for an annual subscription? Unified Practice stands by their product and its customers, if by chance there is a cancellation, UP pro-rates a refund as if you had been paying monthly, so it's a really low-risk way to save on the UP system.
This is a great benefit to C.SMA Practitioners! The C.SMA practitioner saves even more with an additional 5% discount on Unified Practice membership when signing up for an annual subscription. That is on top of the 20% annual discount! Just state your name and your C.SMA practitioner status and your increased discount will be applied.
