Fellowship proposals due December 1
All candidates for Fellowship who want to be considered at the May 2007 Credentials Subcommittee meeting must submit Fellowship proposals to ACP’s Member Records Section before Dec. 1, 2006. Supporting letters from two current ACP Masters or Fellows and current curricula vitae must accompany the proposals, which staff will then forward to the appropriate ACP Governors.
For a Fellowship inquiry kit, contact Customer Service at 800-523-1546, ext. 2600 (9 a.m.-5 p.m., ET). The contents of the Fellowship inquiry kits may also be downloaded from the ACP website. Fellowship candidates are required to include payment for the Fellowship initiation fee (currently $150) with their proposal form, and membership dues must be in good standing. Candidates for Direct Fellowship are required to include payment for the first year’s dues as well.
The current ACP guidelines acknowledge a range of professional activities that indicate continuing scholarship and professional achievement. You no longer have to publish to qualify for advancement. Information: Mariana Hotea, Credentials Administrator, 800-523-1546, ext. 2709, or go to the Membership section of ACP Online.
