Through its dedicated volunteers, TMA is able to better serve and support its members, generate much-needed funds for research and programs, and promote a broader understanding of myositis in the public and medical communities.Although volunteering requires time and effort, it is a very meaningful and rewarding task, knowing that you are touching the lives of everyone living with myositis.

Volunteer as a Myositis Medical Professional
From our earliest days, The Myositis Association (TMA) has worked hand in hand with the global myositis scientific community to improve the lives of people affected by these rare diseases. Together, we have supported groundbreaking research, expanded knowledge of myositis, and ensured that patients, care partners, and healthcare professionals have access to trusted, evidence-based information.
At the center of this collaboration is TMA’s Medical Advisory Board (MAB), a distinguished group of leading myositis experts from around the world who provide scientific guidance and expertise across our programs and initiatives. Beyond the Medical Advisory Board, many researchers and clinicians contribute their time and knowledge through educational programs, research activities, content review, conference presentations, and other volunteer opportunities that support TMA’s mission.
Raise Your Voice in Advocacy
Advocate on behalf of myositis patients. Contact local media, hold an awareness event, or call your legislators to inform the public about myositis and the need for more myositis research.
