We value the privacy and safety of the membership information you supply us. The information we collect about you is only to be used by IAHPC for the purpose of this transaction. Please review the IAHPC data collection policy. If you have any concerns, please contact The IAHPC team.

The IAHPC is not involved in direct patient care and our members do not provide any care, on behalf of, or in representation of, the IAHPC. Every country has specific and different legal requirements as to the certification and professional licensing needed to provide care to patients. Membership with the IAHPC does not cover such requirements in any country. Please refer to your government authorities for this information.

Postgraduate students who are enrolled in a Masters’, Diploma, PhD, Residency, Fellowship or Graduate Certificate program focused on palliative care in an academic institution are eligible for a one-year free IAHPC membership. Postgraduate students in other specialties or fields do not qualify.

Postgraduate criteria:

  1. The institution’s program must be listed in the IAHPC Global Directory of Palliative Care Educational Programs, or
  2. The institution must be a current member of the IAHPC and be listed on the IAHPC members’ page.

Postgraduate process for obtaining the IAHPC membership:

  • A copy of a valid, current institutional identification card is provided; or
  • a certificate/letter from the school/university certifying that the applicant is a postgraduate student at the institution is provided. The certificate should be no older than 3 months.

Free student membership will be awarded until the expected date of graduation up to one year. Memberships can be renewed annually at no cost as long as the postgraduate student status is maintained and the institution’s programs are listed on the IAHPC Global Directory of Palliative Care Educational Programs or the institution remains as an IAHPC member.
