The American Society of Hematology Associate membership is designed for post-doctoral fellows who reside in either Canada, Mexico, or the United States of America and are enrolled in an approved hematology or oncology training program. The annual fee is reduced to $50 and the Associate membership includes:

• a subscription to Blood, the official journal of the American Society of Hematology, which is published 24 times per year, in two volumes per month;
• the Blood Supplement containing the proceedings (including abstracts) of the Society's annual meeting; and
• a waiver of Society dues and assessments.

Term: Post-doctoral fellows with an MD or an equivalent medical degree who reside in Canada, Mexico, or the United States and are enrolled in an approved hematology or oncology training program are eligible for Associate membership. Students who receive a PhD degree, are within 4 years of having attained the PhD, and are in a post-doctoral position or a training program in a hematology and/or oncology-related field are also eligible for Associate membership. Associate membership concludes the December following completion of the fellowship program or after a maximum of four years, whichever comes first. Subsequently, the Associate membership is automatically converted to the Society’s Active member status.

Publications : While applications are considered on a continuous basis, all ASH memberships run on a calendar year; therefore, once approved, Associate members will receive Blood and The Hematologist beginning with the current issues.

Application Requirements:

1. a complete application, signed by an ASH member;
2. a letter from the applicant's Program Training Director certifying that the applicant is a post-doctoral fellow, specifying the year the applicant will complete his/her program, and stating the number of years of post-doctoral training the applicant has already completed;
3. the applicant's curriculum vitae;

Review: Associate membership applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and notification of the membership decision will be sent to the applicant two to three weeks after a completed application is received.

Please submit your application (including curriculum vitae and certification letter) to the Society's Director of Membership at ASH Headquarters.
