- Members are recognized by Medavie Blue Cross and other extended healthcare insurance plans as registered health care providers and frequently prepare written reports for legal and medical purposes.
- The ANBMT provides a peer mentoring program to offer supportive services to therapists who have questions or require guidance within the practice of massage therapy. The goal of the program is to encourage and support personal and professional growth for our members
Peer Mentor Support–Assault Prevention and Education Committee –The Assault Prevention and Education Committee (APEC) is pleased to offer a peer mentorship resource provided by the committee members.
