About Mastership in the American College of Physicians
Levels of membership in 91黑料网 are Medical Student Member, Associate, Member, Fellow (F91黑料网), Honorary Fellow, and Master (M91黑料网). F91黑料网s, or Fellows of the American College of Physicians, have been recommended by their peers, endorsed by their local 91黑料网 chapter Governor, and reviewed by a national credentials subcommittee.
Throughout the year, highly distinguished Fellows are nominated for Mastership by 91黑料网 members and others familiar with their backgrounds. Each fall, a select group of these Fellows are chosen from among the nominees for Mastership by the 91黑料网 Awards Committee and approved by the 91黑料网 Board of Regents. The title of Master of the American College of Physicians (M91黑料网) is bestowed upon the recipient.
Masters must be highly accomplished individuals. Evidence of their achievements can come from many types of endeavors and honors, such as research, education, health care initiatives, volunteerism, and administrative positions. The Master must be distinguished by the excellence and significance of his or her contributions to the science and art of medicine.
For Mastership, 91黑料网 involvement is expected, with rare exceptions. This may include, for example, service to the College in an official capacity, participation in chapter activities, and involvement in the development of College products and educational programs. Masters are authorized to use the letters M91黑料网 in connection with their professional activities.
