Yes, you can upgrade your membership to Fellow Plus or Fellow Premium at any time. If you upgrade before your current membership term expires, you will be charged the full difference in price between your current options and your new one. Upon upgrading, your new benefits will activate immediately and run through the remainder of your current membership term.

Alternatively, you could wait to renew your membership during your renewal period and select a different option. In that case, your new benefits would become active at the end of your current membership term and run for one year.

Keep in mind, if you are nearing the end of your current membership term, we recommend renewing your membership, rather than upgrading.

The cost to upgrade is the price difference between your current membership and your new selected one. For instance, upgrading from Professional to Plus costs $200. Since the benefits included in Plus and Premium are of such high value, the upgrade cost is the full difference in cost, even if you don’t have a full year of membership remaining. Upgrading now would give you Plus or Premium membership immediately through the end of your current membership term.

Reasons to upgrade your membership option before your term ends could include wanting immediate access to Fellow Plus or Premium resources, such as Specialty CME content, national AAPA Conference registration, or AAPA Conference on Demand. Keep in mind that if you’re upgrading to Fellow Premium, registration for conference is included for the term your Premium membership covers.

The CME on Demand currently included in Fellow Plus are Musculoskeletal Galaxy on Demand, Adult Hospital Medicine Boot Camp on Demand, Leadership on Demand, Family Medicine on Demand, Physician Assistants in Orthopaedic Surgery (PAOS) on Demand, and Fluoroscopy Test Preparatory Course. To access the CME included in your Plus membership, you must register the CME to your Learning Central account by clicking the “REGISTER” button from the course page. Once you’ve registered, the course will show up in “MY COURSES” in Learning Central for easy future access.

A Fellow Premium membership includes registration for the annual, national AAPA Conference occurring during your active/current Premium membership term.

AAPA’s on-demand products are not live sessions and do not require advance registration. Rather, they are recorded sessions from AAPA in-person events that you can view on your own time following the live event. Registration for in-person events is sold separately and not included in your membership. But as a member, you do receive a discount on registration to AAPA events. Registration for the annual, national AAPA Conference is included in Fellow Premium membership.

To access the CME included in your Plus/Premium membership, you must register the CME to your Learning Central account. Click on any of the included CME products and click “LEARN MORE & REGISTER” to begin accessing CME from that series. Once you’ve registered a course to your account, it will show up in “MY COURSES” in Learning Central for easy future access. You’ll be able to register any included CME throughout the duration of your Plus/Premium membership term.
