Levels of membership in 바카라 사리트 are Medical Student Member, Associate, Member, Fellow (F바카라 사리트), Honorary Fellow, and Master (M바카라 사리트). F바카라 사리트s, or Fellows of the American College of Physicians, have been recommended by their peers, endorsed by their local 바카라 사리트 chapter Governor, and reviewed by a national credentials subcommittee.
Throughout the year, highly distinguished Fellows are nominated for Mastership by 바카라 사리트 members and others familiar with their backgrounds. Each fall, a select group of these Fellows are chosen from among the nominees for Mastership by the 바카라 사리트 Awards Committee and approved by the 바카라 사리트 Board of Regents. The title of Master of the American College of Physicians (M바카라 사리트) is bestowed upon the recipient.
Masters must be highly accomplished individuals. Evidence of their achievements can come from many types of endeavors and honors, such as research, education, health care initiatives, volunteerism, and administrative positions. The Master must be distinguished by the excellence and significance of his or her contributions to the science and art of medicine.
For Mastership, 바카라 사리트 involvement is expected, with rare exceptions. This may include, for example, service to the College in an official capacity, participation in chapter activities, and involvement in the development of College products and educational programs. Masters are authorized to use the letters M바카라 사리트 in connection with their professional activities.
