SIGs and Affiliates

Why Join?

SIGs and Affiliates (formerly known as chapters or regional groups) provide you with education, community, camaraderie, resources, scholarships, physician job postings and leadership skills building. While some may be included in your AAPPR membership, other affiliates require a separate application and additional dues. If you’re already a member, but haven’t yet joined a SIG or affiliate, view your options below.
