I would first like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude in being appointed to serve the American Rhinologic Society as Chair of the Credentials Committee for the next three years. Looking forward, our goal is to make membership in the ARS as easy to attain as possible so that we can increase our membership at every level.
The requirements for Regular membership have been revised. Candidates for regular membership need to have graduated from an approved Otolaryngology residency program and eligible to sit for the Otolaryngology Board exam. Sponsorship from existing Members or Fellows of the ARS is no longer required.
The resident member requirements are that the applicant be an active resident in good standing in an approved Otolaryngology residency program. Membership is free for residents, and we hope that after completion of their training they will convert to regular membership.
Fellow status is the highest category of membership in the ARS and requires that the member be practicing for at least three years and have performed 50 rhinologic cases over the preceding two years. Letters of recommendation from two Fellows of the ARS are required.
International member status is also available in the ARS. International membership has the same requirements as regular membership. International members are also eligible for Fellow status under the same guidelines as mentioned above.
The membership requirements for each category, along with membership dues, can be found on the ARS website.
