Why Officialize APAMSA's Membership System?

Since APAMSA’s inception in 1995, the organization has grown exponentially. We have formalized our leadership structure with an Executive Board, created subcommittees within the national board, established an Alumni Advisory Board, and added regional conferences. With a growing membership, it is essential and necessary to create an official membership process for record keeping, membership confirmation, eligibility for member benefits, etc.

We are implementing dues to ensure a stable source of income, so National APAMSA can provide more scholarships, grants, opportunities, and discounts for our members and local chapters. 100% of the dues will go back to our chapters and allow us to further invest in and build our infrastructure.

FAQ

Official membership is now open! You can join any time after at any point of your medical career– pre-health/pre-medical, health professional/medical, etc. Currently options include a one-year and a two-year membership. Your membership activates at the moment of registration.

APAMSA membership is open to anyone interested in addressing the unique health challenges of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, & Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities. Whether you are a graduate student, an undergraduate student, post-bac, healthcare professional, or community member interested in getting involved, you are welcomed to join APAMSA.

We will offer waivers/financial aid for individuals in financial need. Please email externalvp@apamsa.org for assistance consideration.

No, refund for membership fee is not available at this time. If you have any questions about membership dues and benefits, please feel free to email externalvp@apamsa.org for more info.

No, you do not have to be a paying APAMSA member to join your local chapter and participate in events hosted by your local chapter. This is an individual membership to the National APAMSA organization only (separate from your local chapter membership). There will be national-run events and resources exclusive to APAMSA members. We highly encourage you to sign up and participate for both your local chapter and for this individual membership!

We will still be hosting many national APAMSA events that are open for the public to join! Some events may be free or discounted for APAMSA members, but as a non-APAMSA member you can still attend. Additionally, some national resources and events will be exclusive to APAMSA members only. These events will be clearly marked for APAMSA members only. 

You will receive an email when it is time to renew your membership. Your membership will last 12 months (or 24 months for the two-year membership) following your registration. If you have questions, please contact externalvp@apamsa.org.

To clarify, chapter activation fees are completely separate fees required for your local chapter to stay active and recognized, and for continued support from National APAMSA. APAMSA Membership are solely individual fees.

That’s okay! You can sign up for our general listserv as a non-paying member through this link. You will receive newsletters and email announcements as part of the general listserv.
