Fellow Membership is open to physicians (MD, DO, or international equivalent) who are certified by the American Board of Electrodiagnostic Medicine. Fellow members have voting rights and are eligible to hold office positions in the AANEM.
Active Membership is open to physicians (MD, DO, or international equivalent) who are certified by a member board of the American Board of Medical Specialties, Canadian equivalent, or American Osteopathic Association. Active members have voting rights and are eligible to hold office positions in the AANEM.
Associate Membership is open to physicians (MD, DO, or international equivalent) who have an active medical license, but are not certified by primary U.S. boards or Canadian equivalent.
Residency & Fellowship
Because residents and fellows are the future of neuromuscular and electrodiagnostic medicine, AANEM offers all the same
membership benefits as physician members, but at a deeply discounted price. Members in this category are enrolled in a medical residency or fellowship program.

Technologists
Technologists can play in integral role in the diagnostic process for a patient with a neuromuscular disease. Applicants for this category of membership include nonphysicians who work under the supervision of a physician and assist the physician with nerve conduction studies (NCSs), electroencephelograms (EEGs), intraoperative monitoring (IOM), evoked potentials, polysomnography, and ultrasound testing.
Technologist members must provide either a
Letter of Support from Fellow or Active* AANEM member OR a
Statement of Responsibility from an Associate* member or nonmember physician. Technologists must agree not to perform or interpret EMG studies or interpret NCSs. Technologists performing NCSs must be under the direct supervision of a neurologist or PMR physician.

Collaborators
Collaborators, or allied health professionals, serve in a variety of patient care and administrative roles in conjunction with physicians. Collaborator members are nonphysicians who agree they will not perform or interpret needle EMG studies or interpret NCSs. Collaborators can be business administrators managing academic or private neurology or PMR practices, supervisors that no longer perform electrodiagnostic (EDX) studies, or those with special training in the healthcare field such as nurses, physician assistants, or pharmacists.
Collaborator members must: provide a
Letter of Support from an AANEM Fellow member OR a
Statement of Responsibility from an Associate* member or nonmember supervising physician.

Researchers
Neuromuscular and electrodiagnostic (EDX) researchers play a vital role in advancing the science of diagnosis, treatment, and care of patients with complex neuromuscular diseases. Applicants for this category of membership include nonphysicians who are a PhD investigator, engineer, holder of a master’s degree, or a graduate student enrolled in a PhD degree program and are currently active in neuromuscular or electrodiagnostic (EDX) research.
Researcher members must: provide a
Letter of Support from an AANEM Fellow member OR a
Statement of Responsibility from an Associate* member or nonmember familiar with the researcher's work.

Medical Students
AANEM recognizes how important exposure to neuromuscular and electrodiagnostic subspecialties is to medical students. Medical student members must upload a verification of enrollment from their institutation.
Medical Student Dues: FREE
Medical Students must currently contact the AANEM at 507.288.0100 or
membership@aanem.org in order to apply for a FREE membership.
*A Fellow member is board certified by the American Board of Electrodiagnostic Medicine (ABEM); Active member is board certified by a primary American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) Board, Canadian equivalent, or Board of the American Osteopathic Association; Associate member holds a medical license but is not board certified. The AANEM online membership directory lists Fellow and Active membership status in the "member type" of each listing.
