Membership & Officers
How to Join
Please complete the membership form (pdf or Word) and note the following:
- There are only individual, not institutional, memberships. Please duplicate the form for other personel in your office or at your institution who wish to become members of NEAAHP.
- Only institutional or personal checks can be processed. Purcahse Orders or Credit Cards cannot be processed. We realize that many schools will only process Purchase Orders and not check requests and may prefer to use an institutional credit card. In that case you may have to send a personal check and request reimbursement from your institution.
- If you are requesting an institutional check, emphasize to your Business Office that the membership form needs to be returned with the check.
- We have received checks with no forms and therefore no idea for which health professions advisor the check had been sent.
- Attaching a business card to the form is acceptable, but in the case of hyphenated last names, complete first, middle and last names eliminate confsion. If you are not now in a LAN (Local Area Network) or are a new member, write NEW in the space beside a LAN and your name and information will be sent to the appropriate LAN coordinator.
- You will receive an email dues recepit to print for your records and use for reimbursement purposes if necessary.
Benefit of Memberships
- A benefit of membership is participation on the NEAAHP listserv, which is a private listserv for the exclusive use of advisors in the Northeast who are NEAAHP members. The NEAAHP listserv is an ideal venue for raising issues for discussion with advisors in the northeast region only. This listserv is unlike the national HLTHPROF listserv, which anyone can join with membership in the National Association of Advisors for the Health Professions, and is open to advisors, admissions officers from all of the heath professions, and others.
- You will learn current information, enhance advising skills and network with advisors and admissions representatives by attending the biennial national and regional conferences.
- Members are able to purchase numerous helpful publications, including the Premedical Advisor Reference Manual (PARM). This publication provides a valuable and comprehensive resource for advisors on the policies and admissions procedures of US and Canadian allopathic medical schools.
