Become A Member
AANP welcomes membership of all physician and non-physician scientists and advocates, to become members of the association. There are a number of membership categories, and we hope that you can find the one most suitable for you. For questions about the application process please contact the AANP Administrator Peggy Harris or Membership Chair Naomi Rance.
Membership Categories
Please review the definition of membership categories below to find the one suitable for you. Please note that applications can only be made for the active and affiliate categories. AANP designates honorary and senior membership status, but current members may contact the membership committee to request a senior status.
- Active
- Active members shall be graduates in medicine or veterinary medicine or hold doctoral degrees in pathology or neuropathology or a related field who, when elected, are actively engaged in neuropathology including teaching, research, diagnosis and/or practice. They shall have made original contributions to neuropathology or neurological sciences and have had at least four years of specialized training and/or experience in the study of diseases of the nervous system. At least two of these years must directly concern neuropathology, applied or experimental.
- Affiliate
- Those engaged in the study of neuropathology who have completed at least one year of this study and who must qualify for Active or Associate membership within five years after election.
- OR
- Outstanding individuals who have contributed meritoriously to the field of Neuropathology but who do not hold a doctoral degree.
- Honorary
- Exceptionally distinguished investigators or teachers in the field of the neurological sciences.
- Senior
- Former active members who upon retirement from active professional life have requested and been granted this status. If you think you are qualified and wish to be granted senior status, please contact aanp@case.edu.
Deadlines
Completed applications must be received on or before March 1st for consideration by the Membership Committee. The AANP members will then vote on the approved membership applicants at the next annual meeting (usually in June of the same year). Election to membership is annual: applications received after the above deadline will be considered the following year. Elected new members will be notified and listed in the AANP Newsletter and Membership Directory.
Please have ready a recent curriculum vitae and two reference letters from sponsors (active members in good standing of the AANP who will write letters in support of your membership).
