Candidate membership automatically rolls into Clinical, after two years post-residency or post-fellowship. However, you must apply for and submit all required documentation for Active level membership.

International Candidate automatically rolls into International membership two years post-residency.

You can login to your account on ota.org and navigate to “My Account” in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. On that page you will navigate to “Pay Dues and Open Invoices”, and then you can view “Open Invoices” as well as “Invoice/Receipt History”.

An applicant cannot apply for Emeritus membership; it is for current OTA members to transition to at retirement or reaching the age of 68 years old. OTA Membership for at least 3 years is required before one can transition to Emeritus membership. Emeritus members do not pay dues.  Emeritus members receive all member benefits; aside from the paper mailed JOT and voting privileges.  Emeritus members may purchase a JOT mailed subscription at the discounted OTA member rate. Per the bylaws; a member must state in writing to the OTA BOD the intent to transition to Emeritus membership.  Email letter to ota@ota.org.

The difference between holding an Active or Research membership is that you are able to vote and hold both elected and appointed office including the Nominating Committee.

You can find all members benefits here.
