Associate category (individual or corporate)

Who is eligible for the Associate category?

People working in public health, or related fields, who wish to receive regular information on the specialty and be linked with the Faculty, but who do not qualify for membership or do not wish to become members, may become Associates.

Associates are not Faculty members and are not entitled to any privileges of membership including the right to vote in Faculty elections, stand for committee membership or use any designatory letters.
