ACEP Categories of Membership and Dues (note: By joining ACEP, you automatically become a member of GCEP *)

Membership Categories
The College has established membership categories so that emergency physicians may join with their colleagues to improve emergency care.

Active Membership is available to licensed physicians who devote a significant portion of their time to emergency medicine and who maintain a prescribed level of continuing medical education. All new Active members must meet one of the following requirements:

• Satisfactory completion of an emergency medicine residency program accredited by the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).

• Satisfactory completion of an emergency medicine subspecialty-training program accredited by ACGME.

• Satisfactory completion of an emergency medicine residency training program accredited by the American Osteopathic Association. (AOA).

• Satisfactory completion of an emergency medicine residency program approved by an ACEP-recognized accrediting body in a foreign country.
  Certification by an emergency medicine certifying body recognized by ACEP. Or

• Active membership in the College at any time prior to the close of business December 31, 1999.

Annual dues: $515. ACEP will reduce dues for new active members in military service. The savings will be a 50% reduction for their first year of active membership $258 and a 33-1/3% decrease for their second year. Active members also must pay chapter dues for the state in which they practice.

Transitioning Emergency Medicine Residency Graduates are offered discounted dues. If you have completed your emergency medicine residency within the last three years, ACEP offers the following dues structure:

First year following graduation $129
Second year following graduation $258
Third year following graduation $386
Fourth year following graduation $515 or full dues
International Membership is available to any emergency physician who is not a resident of the United States or a possession thereof, and who is licensed to practice medicine by the government where they reside and practice. Annual Dues: $386 if in Canada, $129 (except Canada).

Candidate Membership is available to

• Medical Students

• Interns

• Physicians participating in an emergency medicine residency program

• Physicians participating in a fellowship program

• Physicians in the uniformed services, while serving as general medical officers.

Medical students, interns, and physicians participating in an emergency medicine residency or fellowship are encouraged to join the Emergency Medicine Residents' Association at the same time by completing the joint application for membership. Residents may join both ACEP and EMRA for a low annual combined dues of $95. A joint membership for medical students is $55 annually. Multiple -year membership rates are available for residents in their first year of a three-year program or in the first and second years of a four-year program. A two year discounted rate is available for medical students. Memberships in EMRA/ACEP have a common expiration date of July 1. Please call 800-798-1822, touch 5, for more information. Dues rates for national and chapters are listed on the application for membership.

General Medical Officers who have been members of ACEP as medical students or emergency medicine residents may continue their membership for a maximum of four years as a candidate member in ACEP only, (active membership in EMRA is cancelled during this time period.) During their tour of duty as a GMO, a dues rate of 50% of the Active Membership dues rate for the first year, and 75% of the Active Membership dues rate for the second through fourth years apply. This category of membership is also available to General Medical Officers who are joining ACEP for the first time. Dues rates for emergency medicine residents will apply as soon as GMOs return to or are matched with an emergency medicine program.

Applicable chapter dues rates apply for all types of candidate membership. Dues rates for national and Georgia chapter dues are listed on the application for membership and are also listed below. Please call 800-798-1822, extension 5, for more information. Dues are not deductible as a charitable contribution for tax purposes. However, they may be deductible as a business expense subject to restrictions imposed as a result of association lobbying activities. ACEP estimates the nondeductible portion of your national dues to be 28%.
