Fellowship distinction

Fellow and Life Fellow standing carries the FAPMA designation.

FAPMA is an APMA-authorized post-nominal for approved and paid Fellows in good standing. It is a senior academic membership distinction—not a clinical credential, specialty certification, licence, or regulatory approval.
