Association of Directors of Medical
Student Education in Psychiatry
Membership Policy
Active Membership
Active membership in the
organization is outlined in Article II, Section 1 of the bylaws.
Specifically, it says:
Membership will be vested in individuals
rather than departments or institutions. Each individual member will be
required to pay dues. Active individual members shall be entitled to one
vote on matters that come before the membership for action. (Active means
having paid dues for the calendar year in which the vote occurs.)
Classes of membership are
outlined on the membership application form, which includes Active (full voting
privileges) or House Officer (non-voting active members).
Active members will receive a
subscription to Academic Psychiatry, the ADMSEP Newsletter, and access to
the ADMSEP listserv, as well as reduced registration fee for the annual meeting.
House Officer Members do not receive
Academic Psychiatry, but will receive the
ADMSEP Newsletter and access to the
listserv.
Members are in good standing
during the period of time for which dues have been paid (July 1 – June 30).
Renewal Notices
Membership renewals will be sent
to all active members with the annual meeting announcement and again with the
annual newsletter.
The administrative coordinator
will email reminders to submit dues payments prior to June 30 to all members.
Another reminder will be sent by mid-July to those members whose dues
have not been received
Inactive Status
The email reminder sent in
mid-July will notify individuals to those members whose dues have not been
received their membership will be considered inactive effective July 31st.
As a result, subscriptions to
Academic Psychiatry and the ADMSEP listserv will be discontinued.
If members have submitted
paperwork to have their institution renew their membership, internal paperwork
indicating this may be faxed to the administrative coordinator as proof that
their dues payment will be forthcoming.
