FAQs

Categories/Fees

• Is there a part-time category? No, because of the challenge in defining and monitoring part-time status, a part-time category is not offered.
• Is there a maternity or parental leave category? Yes, any Full category member currently not practicing due to pregnancy, birth or adoption, to a maximum of one year from the date of birth or adoption, may qualify for the Maternity/Parental Leave category.

• Is there a sick leave category? Yes, any Full category member currently not practicing due to health reasons, may qualify for the Sick Leave category.

• If my membership category changes during the year, will I incur additional fees?

For example, Student members entering residency are not required to pay the Resident fee until the following year.
