I’m a member of ACPM.  How do I become more involved?

As a volunteer membership organization, ACPM relies heavily on its members, working with ACPM staff, to perform the business of the College.  Much of this is done via ACPM’s Committees.  Please review the committee list and email the staff liaison with a statement of interest and a CV for any committee you are interested in joining. 

How do I become a Fellow of ACPM?

You must be a full Member (Member level member) for at least three years before you are eligible to apply for Fellowship.  Once you have achieved Member level membership for at least three years, ACPM staff will inform you that you many now apply for Fellowship.  You must fill out a separate Fellowship application and detail your contributions to the field of Preventive Medicine as well as to the College.  A great way to show your contributions to the College is to join a committee, conduct reviews for the College, take press calls when needed, etc.
