Regular Membership

Scientists in medical, biological, physiological, psychological and sociological disciplines and professionals in cognate fields who teach, practice, or participate in investigations of psychosomatic relationships, and who are qualified representatives of their specialties, are eligible for consideration for membership. Ordinarily, applicants will hold the highest degree appropriate to their discipline and will be active in postgraduate work in the psychosomatic field. In exceptional circumstances, evidence of unusual contributions to the field will be acceptable in lieu of these requirements. Annual dues are $150, and include a subscription to the Journal.

Associate Membership

Applicants who are enrolled in medical, graduate or undergraduate school, residents, and fellows are eligible for associate membership, and become eligible for promotion to full membership at the completion of their degree/training program. They have all rights and privileges of regular members with the exception of holding office. Annual dues are set at a reduced rate of $50, and include a subscription to the Journal Psychosomatic Medicine. Students applying for Associate Membership must provide a letter testifying to an interest in psychosomatic medicine from their advisor.

Emeritus Membership

Emeritus membership is available to regular members of the Society when they have been a member for at least 10 years and reached the age of 65, or earlier when circumstances such as retirement or illness may merit such action. Dues are waived while still receiving all benefits of regular membership, including the journal.
