Memberships are available to any practicing health care professional, such as physicians, physical therapists, dentists, chiropractors, veterinarians, massage therapists, nurses, shiatsu practitioners, tai-ji instructors, etc. that are not also acupuncturists licensed in Maryland.

Student membership is a available to any person enrolled in a school of acupuncture, herbology, or Asian medicine. However, the MAS bylaws do state that a student member cannot also hold an acupuncture license. The student membership is intended for entry level education programs, not for students of doctorate or herbology programs following on the initial acupuncture curriculum.

Friend of Acupuncture Memberships are available to anyone who is not an allied health care practitioner or acupuncturist. The Friend of Acupuncture Membership does not get a seminar discount.

The Maryland Acupuncture Society Life Memberships are typically presented to MAS executive board members for outstanding service on the board. The life membership is, however, also available to any acupuncturist who wishes to make a large financial contribution to the MAS. 

The Maryland Acupuncture Society Organization Memberships are used for schools of acupuncture who wish to partner with the Maryland Acupuncture Society. 

The Maryland Acupuncture Society has historically allowed exhibitors to have tables at physical events. The exhibitor membership is not to be used by any health care professional who would be another type of membership, it is used by companies who wish to sell products to MAS members. The exhibitor membership has no fee.
