ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP OF THE FACULTY OF PATHOLOGY

SpRs in Pathology can now become Associate Members of the Faculty.

This membership category was established to facilitate better communication between the Faculty and trainees, as part of the Faculty’s strategy to engage with practitioners in pathology at all stages of their careers.

Associate Membership provides a forum for trainees to bring training and other issues to the attention of the Faculty.

As an Associate Member, you can engage with the Faculty before you complete training - Associate Members are eligible to represent trainees on the Board, and on the Education and Training Committee. 

How to become an Associate Member

If you are in Higher Specialist Training in Pathology you can apply for Associate Membership of the Faculty of Pathology.  

The annual subscription fee is €40 - reduced to €25 if you already hold another category of Membership within RCPI and are in good standing. 

You will need a sponsoring Fellow of the Faculty of Pathology, such as your trainer or National Specialty Director.
