Usage Note
In formal writing, 'assoc.' is usually followed by a period (full stop). It appears in two main patterns: before a job title meaning 'associate' (e.g. Assoc. Professor), and after an organization name meaning 'association' (e.g. the Medical Assn., often abbreviated as 'Med. Assoc.'). When read aloud, the full word is spoken, not the abbreviation.
