Additional Volunteer Opportunities
View the current opportunities available via AAPA to volunteer and share your expertise or experience.
Yes, you can upgrade your membership from Professional or Plus to either Plus or Premium at any time. You will be charged the full difference in member rates. Your upgraded benefits will begin immediately and run through the end of your current membership term.
Alternatively, you can choose to renew your membership during your renewal period and select a different membership option – in which case your new benefits would start at the end of your current membership term and run for one year.
The cost to upgrade is the price difference between your current membership and your new selected one. For instance, upgrading from Professional to Plus costs $200. Since the benefits included in Plus and Premium are of such high value, the upgrade cost is the full difference in cost, even if you don’t have a full year at that membership tier. Upgrading now would give you Plus or Premium membership immediately through the end of your current membership term.
Plus membership includes Musculoskeletal Galaxy on Demand, Adult Hospital Medicine Boot Camp on Demand, Leadership on Demand, Family Medicine on Demand, PAOS on Demand, Fluoroscopy Test Preparatory Course. Please note that AAPA Conference on Demand is only included in Premium membership. To access the CME included in your Plus membership, you must register the CME to your Learning Central account by clicking the “REGISTER” button. Once you’ve registered, the course will show up in “MY COURSES” in Learning Central for easy future access.
On Demand products are the recorded sessions from the in-person events. Registration to events (Musculoskeletal Galaxy, Family Medicine, etc.) are sold separately and are not included in your membership. You do receive a discount on registration as a member.
