Membership Grades
A choice of membership grades to suit applicants at all levels of career development
There are three membership grades available depending on your involvement and level of career development in medical education.
Membership– for all those who are professionally involved in medical education, at any stage of their career. Applicants for Membership must demonstrate commitment to medical education.
Fellowship– for those who are established in and have made contributions to medical education, and thus will be some way into a career in medical education. Applicants for Fellowship must demonstrate a broad contribution to, or significant achievement(s) in, medical education.
Members and Fellows are identified by the internationally-recognised professional designations of MAcadMEd (Member of the Academy of Medical Educators) and FAcadMEd (Fellow of the Academy of Medical Educators) signifying that they have successfully met appropriate professional standards for medical education practice and are committed to continuing professional development. Members and Fellows vote in elections and may stand for office.
Associate Membership – for those with an interest in medical education but who may not be (or may not yet be) professionally involved. This includes early career medical educators working towards professional recognition or administrators and managers of medical educators who wish to demonstrate their support for the Academy’s objectives.
