Membership Application |
If you are interested in joining AMPA, please review our membership categories below. An application form can be downloaded from the button above. We look forward to having you!
Full Members are practicing medical physicists as determined by a review of their membership application by the Membership Committee, and (a) are Members of the Canadian College of Physicists in Medicine (CCPM), OR (b) hold equivalent certification by another organization, as determined by the directors from time to time, OR (c) are deemed competent to practice as a Medical Physicist based on a review of an applicant’s work experience and credentials. Approval for full membership in this case will be at the discretion of an appropriate review committee and may require the successful completion of an oral exam administered by the review committee. These persons become Full Members upon approval of their membership application by the Membership Committee and payment of the full membership fee. Full Members may serve as directors of the society. Each Full Member in good standing shall be entitled to one vote at any general meeting (s)he attends. Purchase of individual Liability Insurance is a requirement of a Full member, when available.
Associate Members are those physical scientists or engineers not otherwise eligible for Full membership whose membership application has been approved by the Membership Committee and who have paid the Associate Membership fee. Each Associate Member in good standing shall be entitled to one vote at any general meeting (s)he attends. Associate Members may not serve as directors of the society. Purchase of individual Liability Insurance is a requirement of an Associate member, when available. Upon acceptance as a member of the Canadian College of Physicists in Medicine, Associate members may apply at no cost to be reclassified as Full members. Associate members are not considered to have demonstrated competence in the field of Medical Physics and are not eligible to perform restricted activities without the direct supervision of a Full member of AMPA.
Corresponding Members are either (a) individuals who are eligible for Full or Associate Membership but do not practice medical physics for remuneration in the province of Alberta, OR (b) individuals who, in the past, were eligible for Full or Associate Membership but who, by virtue of retirement, no longer practice medical physics for remuneration. These persons become Corresponding Members upon approval of their application by the Membership Committee and payment of the Corresponding Membership fee. Corresponding Members may attend general meetings but have no voting rights and may not serve as directors. Purchase of individual Liability Insurance is optional for Corresponding members.
Student Members are those persons who are in full time study towards a degree in a field which would qualify them for Full Membership in the society and who, in each year, submit proof of their student status.
