Requirements for Fellowship

Applicants are required to meet all 8 criteria below in addition to completing the Fellowship application and supporting documentation as further described within the application form.

“The criteria for Fellowship are rigorous, but for those ACPE members who are able to demonstrate active participation in the College and a history of significant contributions to the field of medical management, Fellowship is a clear indicator that they have been recognized as accomplished leaders”.

All successful applicants must:

• Be an ACPE member for the last five consecutive years
• Hold Diplomate status in ACPE which requires board certification in medical management (CPE) by the Certifying Commission in Medical Management
• Provide two letters of recommendation:
  
  
  1. A letter from a current ACPE Fellow who can nominate the candidate to receive Fellowship status based on the applicant’s significant medical management contribution
  2. A letter from a person in a leadership role within the local organization of employment who can speak from personal experience about the applicant’s contribution to the field of medical management
• Exhibit contributions to the field of medical management over and above the applicant’s job function and those that extend well beyond the local organization of employment. This is generally demonstrated through published articles and books, papers, teaching, research, and/or service to the profession. Further examples are described within the application form.

Each application will be checked for completeness by ACPE staff. When complete, applications will be reviewed by the Council of Fellows. Applications are accepted through Dec 31 of each year. Candidates will be notified by letter of their Fellowship status and be invited to participate in the ACPE Induction Ceremony held at the Annual Meeting in the Spring.
