Thank You for Being an Academy Member! Continue Your Support

The Academy supports more than 10,000 physiatrists who, in turn, help each other through initiatives designed to move physiatry forward. Invest in membership to support these initiatives and your peers, who volunteer their time to strengthen PM&R.

Membership dues have remained at a consistent rate since 2012. Renew by December 31, 2017 to avoid a lapse in membership benefits, and eliminate unnecessary communications related to dues renewal. After February 1, 2018, membership benefits will be placed on-hold, including access to your complimentary self-assessment and members-only web resources, and your dues fee will increase by $75.

Check Your Email Inbox for Our Leadership Education Survey

You should have received an email from the Academy on November 7 and 14, requesting your feedback on leadership skills and education. Please complete the survey by November 22—you’ll be entered into a drawing to win the new 2017 Annual Assembly Rewind bundle. Contact AAPM&R Member Services at (847) 737-6000 if you didn't receive the survey. Thanks in advance for your time!
