Member-in-Training

ELIGIBILITY FOR MEMBER-IN-TRAINING MEMBERSHIP

Applicants for Member-in-Training membership in AMMI Canada must meet the following criteria:

  • Post-graduate trainees in Infectious Diseases, Medical Microbiology, or related disciplines (e.g., Clinical Microbiology fellowship programs).
  • Eligibility is contingent on the applicant meeting the requirements for Active Membership upon completion of their training.

APPLICATION PROCESS

To apply, submit a membership application form supported by:

  • An endorsement from one (1) Active Member in good standing with the Association.
  • Confirmation of enrollment in a training program from the Program Director. (If the Program Director is an Active Member, their endorsement alone suffices.)

AMMI Canada will review your application. Upon approval, you will receive an invoice for the annual membership dues, including payment instructions. Membership is activated upon payment of the first year’s dues. 

DUES PAYMENT POLICY

Annual dues must be paid within six (6) months of the renewal date or before registering for any member-discounted events, such as the Medical Microbiology Review Course or the Annual Conference. If dues remain unpaid after the six-month period, the Member-in-Training status will be revoked, and the individual will no longer have access to membership benefits.

This policy ensures timely renewals and continued access to the resources and opportunities provided by AMMI Canada.

TRANSITION TO ACTIVE MEMBERSHIP

AMMI Canada recognizes the significant fee increase when Members-in-Training graduate from their programs and move to full Active Membership. To support a smoother transition, AMMI Canada has an incremental post-graduate dues increase schedule:

  • 1st year post-graduation: Dues are $150.
  • 2nd year post-graduation: Dues are $250.
  • 3rd year post-graduation: Members move to full Active Membership and pay the standard dues for that fiscal year.

Members-in-Training are required to provide their expected graduation date upon application. On this date, their profile will be updated by the AMMI Canada Secretariat. When annual dues are generated for all members, the Member-in-Training will receive an updated invoice reflecting their post-graduate year and the corresponding dues as per the schedule above.

MEMBERSHIP DETAILS

  • Member Rights and Responsibilities: Members-in-Training may receive notices and attend all Association meetings but do not have voting rights.
  • Membership Year: January to December.
  • Annual Dues: $50.00 + applicable taxes (based on the province of residence).
