AMEE FELLOWSHIP AND ASSOCIATE FELLOWSHIP
Become a Fellow of AMEE
What is the AMEE Fellowship Scheme?
The AMEE Fellowship initiative was created to recognise members for their contributions to health professions education (HPE), and showcase their scholarship and leadership. AMEE members, who have the appropriate qualifications and evidence of scholarship listed below under each category, are warmly invited to apply for recognition as Fellows or Associate Fellows of AMEE and the right to use the post-nominals FAMEE or AFAMEE, as appropriate.
The goals of the AMEE Fellowship Scheme are:
To value AMEE members who have demonstrated scholarship in health professions education.
To provide a mechanism for AMEE members to be recognised within their own institutions and globally.
To help emerging health professions educators chart a clear pathway and engage in scholarly educational practice and scholarship.
To establish a culture of mentorship through which members of AMEE can support the development of those with less experience in the field.
Fellowship Committee
The AMEE Fellowship Committee encourages health professions educators worldwide to advance their scholarship, strengthen the recognition of excellence at their own institution as well as the global HPE community, and to advance scholarship and career development among the next generation of educators.
