Membership Categories

The Academy Membership Committee reviews application materials and provides the Academy with recommendations of new members as well as which category of membership would be the best fit. Academy members with voting rights (regular and emeritus members) make final decisions about which candidates are welcomed to the Academy.

Regular Membership

Candidates may self-nominate or may be nominated by their department chair, the Senior Associate Dean for Medical Education, or by the Executive Dean.  Candidates who meet the membership criteria are appointed to a 4-year term with the opportunity to renew membership thereafter.

Emeritus Membership

Emeritus members are appointed by the Academy and generally serve through retirement. Emeritus members receive the same privileges as regular members and are often called on to serve as mentors. Emeritus membership is intended to honor faculty with a history of exemplary teaching and faculty mentorship.
