At the ISSVD XIX World Congress in July 2007, a decision was made to broaden the criteria for joining the society. There are now two ways to participate in the Society. You can now join the ISSVD as a Member at anytime and change to Fellowship status by presenting an abstract at a World Congress. Both categories are restricted to healthcare professionals. To become a Fellow * or Member, you must have displayed a particular interest in and knowledge of vulvovaginal diseases.
To become a Fellow* or Member you must submit ALL of the following to the office of the Secretary General via ISSVD Headquarters by emailing to issvd@issvd.org: (if everything is not submitted within 30 days, your application will be rejected and no refund will be made.)
Login if you already have an account on our website, or Create an account on our website and purchase a membership. You can make payment online or choose the “Bill Me” option and have your employer send a check.
STEPS TO JOIN ISSVD
- In addition to making your payment, please be sure to email a CV to issvd@issvd.org along with a photo. Applications cannot be approved without a CV.
An Abstract will be required if applying for Fellowship and must be presented at an upcoming World Congress.
A completed application must be on file and reviewed. You must receive an acceptance before membership will be active.
*Fellows must present a qualifying abstract at a World Congress. A Member may attain Fellowship, at a future meeting, by making an oral presentation (no poster) at the next meeting of the Society. If you would like to become a Fellow, you may do so by applying to be a candidate for Fellowship and submitting an abstract for presentation at the upcoming World Congress. The abstract may be a case series (3 or more cases) or an original article in basic science and clinical practice.
The next World Congress will be held in Dublin, Ireland from July 19-21, 2021 and will be preceded by our International Vulvovaginal Disease Update on July 16 &17, 2021.
