Transcription

1 American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists Fellow Renewal Application Thank you for your contribution over the last ten years as a Fellow of AAOMPT. The following overview is provided in an effort to familiarize you with the renewal process. Further details regarding each requirement for renewal are included in the appropriate section of the application. The designation of Fellow as described in the original AAOMPT bylaws is both a membership classification and a professional credential (FAAOMPT). Fellowship designations are awarded for a ten-year term. The ten year term expires every tenth anniversary of the date of completion of your original fellowship or residency program or the date of the AAOMPT challenge/fellowship examination. The expiration date of the fellowship designation is usually indicated on your AAOMPT Fellow certificate. Fellows may submit an application for renewal at any time before the expiration of the ten year term. The deadline for receipt of applications for fellow renewal is July 15 of each year. To maintain continuous Fellow status, Fellows must submit a renewal application by the July 15 deadline prior to the expiration of the ten year term. The Standards Committee reviews applications for renewal after July 15. Renewing Fellows can expect to be notified of the status of their application by early September. Renewing Fellows will be recognized at the subsequent Fellow recognition ceremony at the AAOMPT Annual Conference in October. Fellows who have not completed the requirements, or who are asked to submit additional clarifying information will be given a 1 year extension of their Fellow status providing they submit an application for renewal prior to the expiration of the ten year term. Fellows who have not completed the requirements for renewal at the expiration of their ten year term should submit an application detailing their progress towards meeting the criteria to date. The Standards Committee will notify fellows of any outstanding requirements, or requests for additional information in early September. Fellows who are 62 years and older at the time of renewal, and who have been a member in good standing with AAOMPT for a minimum of 10 years, may apply to become a Life Fellow. All of the activities listed on the renewal application must be post-professional activities and must have been completed after the initial date of FAAOMPT eligibility or in the case of a fellow who has previously renewed, after the date of the previous renewal.

11 SCHOLARLY ACTIVITY Support Statement: Scholarly activities may be research or non-research related. The essential component of scholarly work is that it goes through a critical review or editorial process for scientific merit and provides references. Though typically directed towards an audience of professional peers, it may also be directed towards an audience of patients or clients. Full time clinicians may find nonresearch oriented activities more suited to their environment, while those in an academic setting may find formal research activities more suited to their environment. Objective: To increase the availability of credible evidence related to OMPT in all categories of the evidence hierarchy, and to demonstrate/illustrate the integration best evidence in clinical practice. Criteria: Three OMPT related scholarly activities over the last 10 years are required. This is approximately one activity every three years but can be done anytime. The 3 activities may be all one type, or any combination.
