REGULAR MEMBERS (PSYCHIATRISTS)
Eligibility for regular ASAP membership for psychiatrists requires either membership or documentation of ability to qualify for membership with the American Psychiatric Association (APA) or the Canadian Psychiatric Association (CPA). General categories of membership include: Regular, Life/Senior, Early Career, and Distinguished.
MEMBERS-IN-TRAINING
Medical Students, Graduate Students, Residents, and Fellows currently enrolled in approved training programs are eligible to become members-in-training. Dues are waived the first year and subsequent years as determined by eligibility criteria documentation and/or active engagement in ASAP affairs through committee or other service.
​Members in training are also entitled to unique benefits described here.
ASSOCIATE MEMBERS
A person with education, training, and a post-baccalaureate degree in a mental health or related field may become an Associate Member. This includes psychologists, social workers, nurses, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, counselors, non-psychiatrist physicians, and marriage and family therapists. An Associate Member shall be licensed to practice in his/her field and be a member or member-eligible of his/her discipline’s national organization.​​
ORGANIZATIONAL AFFILIATE MEMBERS
This category of membership is ideal for organizations engaged in the delivery of clinical services or training of clinicians. All organizational members become ASAP members with all benefits and privileges (except voting privileges or ability to hold office) at no charge to them. We require that the facility Medical Director or designated representative become an individual ASAP member and that the organization negotiate a reasonable annual fee to ASAP.
