If you have questions about membership, call Member Services at 202.292.6700.

Speaker
All speakers participating on a panel at the meeting are entitled to the speaker rate. Please note that we now have member and non-member speaker rates.  If you wish to become a member of AcademyHealth, you can do so when you register.  Poster presenters are not eligible for the speaker rate and must register for the conference at their appropriate rate. If you have any questions about the speaker rate, please call 202.292.6739.

Organizational Affiliate
Organizational affiliates of AcademyHealth are eligible to receive discounted rates. Details on how to register as an AcademyHealth organizational affiliate will be available February 16, 2010.

Fellow
Fellows include clinical fellows and post-doctoral trainees appointed to positions granting a stipend and allowing for advanced study or research at an academic or training institution. Fellows do not include faculty appointments or regular job appointments.

Student
Students enrolled full-time at the time of the meeting are eligible for the reduced student rate. You must include documentation of full-time student status (e.g., legible copy of student ID with valid expiration date or letter from department/program head) with the registration form. If documentation is not received, the individual rate will apply. Attendees enrolled in fellowship programs do not qualify for the student rate.

The daily rate includes all conference materials, sessions, and meal functions for the specified day only.

CANCELLATIONS
Cancellations must be received in writing by April 28 in order to receive a refund, less a $100 processing charge. The refund policy applies to the conference and the methods seminars. Interest Group meeting cancellations must be received by April 28 and will be assessed a $25 processing fee. No refunds will be issued for cancellations received after April 28. Registration fees for cancelled registrants may not be applied to future AcademyHealth meetings.

SUBSTITUTIONS/MODIFICATIONS
All substitutions and adjustments will be assessed a $50 processing fee. Substitutions will be accepted only once per registrant and must include written notification from the original registrant and a completed registration form for the substitute participant.
