Categories of Individual Membership
The association offers four categories of individual membership: Full Member, Associate Member, Student Member, and Retired.

Individual Membership Category Requirements

Full Member
To qualify for Full Membership, an applicant must be a health care professional (as defined in Section IV.A of the Certification Manual). Such a professional becomes a Full Member upon approval of his or her completed Membership Application, which must include proof of professional status and payment of membership dues. Membership does not connote certification.

Associate Member
Associate Members are persons interested in eating disorders, and/or the activities of the Association, who are not health care professionals (as defined in Section IV.A). There are no formal requirements for Association Membership, aside from completion of a Membership Application and payment of membership dues.

Student Member
Students enrolled for 9 semester hrs. Undergraduate or 6 semester hrs. Graduates are eligible for Student Membership. Proof of enrollment, completion of a Membership Application, and payment of dues are the only requirements.

Retired Member
Retired members are those persons, previously members of IAEDP, who worked as a health care professional and/or have an interest in eating disorders and/or the activities of the Association. Retired members are those people who have officially retired from their professional positions.

Membership Rights & Privileges
With the exception of voting privileges as detailed in the bylaws of this Association, which are granted only to Full Members (exceptions are student and retired status), all categories of members share equal rights and privileges. These rights and privileges include receipt of Association mailings, newsletters, discounts at Symposia and other Association functions, and any other rights and privileges as may from time to time be extended.
