Associate to Affiliate
Member Transfer Guidelines
Affiliate membership is open to qualified individuals who are health professionals working in support of cancer and biomedical research, survivors and advocates who are members of organizations whose mission includes the advancement of cancer research, and educators or other professionals who are interested in and/or make substantial contributions to the cancer field.
If your status has changed such that you are no longer in training and now meet the qualifications of Affiliate membership, you must transfer out of associate membership.
