2. To join using printed materials, the following items must be received at the Academy office before a candidate will be considered for membership in the Academy of Psychosomatic Medicine
   1. Completed membership application
   2. Curriculum vitae (CV)
   3. Payment
   4. Completed "Sponsor Form" from each sponsor

Applications cannot be considered until all items are received at the Academy office. The application process generally takes eight weeks and, if selected, you will be sent a membership certificate at that time.

TO JOIN APM USING PRINTED MATERIALS:

Membership application:     MS Word   PDF

The APM membership application is available as a fill-in-the-blanks MS Word document to fill out on your computer, or as a PDF document to print and fill out by hand.

To fill out the application on your computer:

1. Download the Word version of the application.
2. Open the document; if prompted, select the "read only" option.
3. Complete all requested information.
4. "Save as" the application to your hard drive, giving it a filename that includes your surname if you will be e-mailing the application.

Curriculum Vitae
You may e-mail your CV if it is in electronic format. Otherwise, please mail it to the Academy office.

Payment
Payment may be made by check (in U.S. funds) or by credit card. If you pay by credit card, fill out the credit card information on the last page of the membership application. Your check will not be cashed, nor your credit card debited, until you have been approved for membership.

Sponsor Form:     MS Word   PDF

Each applicant must be sponsored by either two APM members or three non-members. The applicant identifies the sponsors on the application form, and it is the applicant's responsibility to ensure each sponsor fills out and submits to the Academy office the Membership Sponsor Form.

Note: The Sponsor Form must be submitted by the sponsor, not by the applicant.

The Sponsor Form is available as an MS Word fill-in-the-blanks document that can be filled out and e-mailed to the Academy, or as a PDF document that can be filled out by hand and mailed or faxed to the Academy.
