Membership dues are presented on a single, consolidated invoice to the chair of the department of (internal) medicine for all LCME, CACMS, and COCA accredited medical schools with a defined department of (internal) medicine.
ACGME and RCPS accredited residency programs are also presented a consolidated invoice.
The invoice covers all AAIM charter association—APM, APDIM, ASP, CDIM, and AIM—memberships.
With a departmental payment, an unlimited number of individuals may enroll in each charter association for no additional fee. Each individual must meet the charter association's eligibility criteria.

FAQs
How are departmental dues assessed? What are the rates?
A single fee is charged to departments. The fee is based on the number of filled positions per internal medicine residency program within the department.
What happens if my chair does not pay the departmental fee?
In the event that a department chair does not enroll his/her department with the consolidated invoice, individuals do not have the ability to enroll as an individual member in a charter association. If an individual is not in an eligible department of medicine, they may apply for individual membership.
