Membership Applications
Thank you for considering membership in the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS). We welcome potential membership candidates and will do all we can to assist you in the application process.
Please note that applicants are required to provide complete and accurate professional information and are responsible for obtaining references and verifications for credentials, licenses, certifications and educational requirements.
Before you begin:
- Carefully review the requirements to determine your eligibility for the different membership types.
- After you have determined your eligibility (#1 above), review the sample applications which illustrate the information requirements.
Sample Applications (Adobe Acrobat/PDF format):
- Your application must be completed in one session and cannot be saved to be finished at a later time. You should assemble your required documentation and reference contact information prior to starting your application. With all the required information in hand, the application form takes approximately 12 minutes to complete.
- YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CONTACTING AND FOLLOWING UP WITH YOUR REFERENCES. YOUR APPLICATION WILL NOT PROCEED UNTIL YOUR REFERENCES AND VERIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED. This application system will help you and your references by automatically creating emails that will be sent to the reference contacts you provide. The emails generated for you will contain links back to this application system making it very convenient for your references to confirm and verify.
Note: Due to the SPAM problem and variablility of SPAM filters, we suggest you notify your references to look for emails from webmaster@sfamsannex.org. You will be copied (to the address you enter on your application) on all verification emails sent to your references / contacts.
