La estructura de membresía de la Sociedad busca reflejar distintas formas de pertenencia institucional sin adoptar el lenguaje del comercio electrónico. Cada categoría corresponde a una relación diferente con la Sociedad.
Student Member, Associate Member y Fellow cuentan con modalidades mensual y anual. La opción anual se presenta como preferente por servir mejor a la continuidad institucional. Institutional Affiliate se ofrece principalmente en modalidad anual.
La anualidad como formato preferente
La membresía anual favorece la continuidad administrativa, la emisión de certificados, la comunicación institucional y el desarrollo a largo plazo de la Sociedad. Los pagos se procesan de forma segura mediante Stripe, y tras el checkout el miembro regresa al sitio para completar su registro.

Membership questions
Who may become a Student or Associate Member?
Student membership is the entry pathway for people in formation or serious early study. Associate membership is intended for clinicians, scholars, educators, writers, researchers, and other professionals seeking formal affiliation.
Does Fellow status follow automatically from payment?
No. Fellow is a distinguished institutional standing and remains subject to the Society’s assessment and accurate representation rules.
Will my profile be public?
Not by default. Public profiles and directory inclusion require a separate choice and administrative publication. You may request removal without ending your private membership record.
How do renewal and cancellation work?
Recurring plans renew for the selected cycle until cancelled. Contact membership@americansociety.world before the next renewal. See the cancellations and refunds policy for billing-error and consumer-rights information.
What does the certificate represent?
It verifies the membership category and status recorded by the Society. It is not a clinical license, academic degree, or blanket endorsement.
