 ISMRM Membership Categories
Individuals May apply for membership in the ISMRM in one of three categories:  Full, Student, and Associate.
Full Membership:
 
An individual who is involved in magnetic resonance in medicine, biology, or other related topics, in research, education, manufacture, or practice.  Full members have the right to vote and hold office.  The applicant must submit one copy of his/her curriculum vitae with, where possible, a list of peer-reviewed publications in the field of MR.  Do not include abstracts or book chapters.
 
  Sponsorship Requirements: Endorsement by one Full Member of the Society.
 
  There are three sub-categories of Full Membership:
 
 
  1. Regular - all Full Members, except those in categories (b) and (c) below.  Regular membership is automatically conferred to new members.
  2. Charter - the group of Full Members comprising those who were Charter Members of the Predecessor Societies.
  3. Emeritus - Full Members who have paid the specified regular dues for five (5) years and have retired from more than casual employment.  Current full members interested in applying for emeritus status please contact the ISMRM membership department.
Student Membership:
 
An individual enrolled full-time in an academic program that actively engages in the application of magnetic resonance in medicine and biology.  The applicant must submit one copy of his/her abbreviated curriculum vitae and a brief statement on letterhead signed by a department head/advisor which describes the training program, type of degree, field of study, and expected date of completion by the applicant.  Eligibility for student membership must be confirmed annually.
 
  Sponsorship Requirements: Endorsement by one Full Member of the Society.
 
 Associate Membership:
 
An individual residing in a financially restricted country, who has limited personal income.  The individual seeking membership must be involved in magnetic resonance or its applications through publication, education, manufacture, or practice.  The maximum annual income required for Associate Membership is the equivalent of US$10,000.  The currently defined list of countries whose nationals may qualify for Associate Membership is Bulgaria, China, India, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Romania, Slovak Republic, and Thailand..  Other countries will be considered by the Board of Trustees on a case-by-case basis.  Associate Membership is only permitted following submission of a letter from the applicant, the employer, or a governmental authority verifying that the normal membership dues would constitute an excessive financial hardship.
 
  Sponsorship Requirements: Endorsement by one Full Member of the Society.
