There are five categories of membership to accommodate the scope of faculty responsibilities at EVMS:
- Member (available now)
- Master Educator (available now)
- Distinguished Educator (future)
- Affiliate Community Faculty (future)
- Protégé (available now)
These categories reflect faculty experience as an educator and accommodate the changing needs and desires of educators as they progress through their academic career. If faculty enter as a Member, progression to Master Educator and ultimately Distinguished Educator can occur over time. Dedicated activities offered by the Academy of Educators will support faculty in this progression. Staff who are educators can apply to be a Member.
