STUDENT MEMBERSHIP

IARP recognizes that students truly are the future of the profession. We are also very familiar with the fact that students have different financial realities than practicing professionals. That's why we created a special membership category just for you! IARP, Student Membership includes all the benefits of Associate Membership in IARP PLUS membership in the Special Interest Section of your choice!

SPECIAL INTREST SECTIONS

Special Interest Sections are your passport to networks of professionals of similar specialties and/or interests. And now, they are your opportunity for representation as well, because each Special Interest Section elects a representative to the IARP National Board of Directors. Special Interest Sections facilitate the dynamic exchange of information between members of focused peer groups.

IARP currently supports three Special Interest Sections:
Case Management
Disability Management
Forensic

LOCAL CHAPTER MEMBERSHIP

Local chapter membership is considered part of IARP Professional membership and is required if there is a Chapter in the state/region in which you live. There is a listing of the different state/region chapters, and their dues on the attached application. Chapter Membership is optional if you are joining as an Associate or Student Member. IARP strongly encourages you to join and actively participate in your local chapter. Chapters actively monitor the local business and regulatory climate to keep you informed about information pertinent to your career and your profession.

Chapter meetings are a great way to network and make new business contacts, as well as a great way to earn valuable continuing education credits. When you pay your Chapter dues, the national organization sends them to your chapter to provide you with these state/region level services.

SUBSCRIBER

We offer non-members the option of purchasing a subscription to the quarterly publication, RehabPro magazine.
