Social events and special activities are built into the annual conference to foster informal sharing and information exchange. New groups are formed whenever there is a need. A valuable resource to identify colleagues, the directory lists members alphabetically and geographically for easy reference. The Alliance membership consists of people with an interest in continuing medical education. Included are representatives from medical schools, large and small hospitals, state medical societies, large and small specialty societies, pharmaceutical companies, device manufacturers, publishers, CME entrepreneurs, communication companies, computer software companies, and others.
Membership is open to individuals throughout the world.
Members are eligible to vote, to serve on committees, and to hold office in the organization. Institutional Hospitals, medical schools, academic medical centers, specialty societies and other medical institutions may join the Alliance as institutional members. An institutional membership covers a minimum of three individuals, but there is no maximum number that may be included with full active membership. The membership belongs to the institution and memberships may be transferred when personnel changes occur. Corporate Corporations are eligible to join the Alliance as corporate sponsors, with three full voting memberships.
