Upgrading Membership from Resident Fellow Member to General Member

Resident Fellow Members completing residency are advanced annually based on the academic calendar. In the spring the MPS and APA initiate the automatic advancement process by contacting both the Member-in Training and the respective training program to verify completion of training. You will be automatically advanced unless you notify us that you are continuing in a fellowship or if the training program cannot confirm completion. If confirmation of completion is not provided, or licensure cannot be verified, your membership will be dropped. MPS dues rates are billed at a reduced rate for the first two years after completing residency training. (Please see Member Types and Descriptions.)
