Benefits of Membership

• Affiliation with one of Canada’s longest-standing microbiology associations, which actively promotes cooperation, collaborative research, and education amongst microbiologists, and also the development and promotion clinical standards and guidelines. CACMID is inclusive of all microbiology-related positions including technicians, clinicians, medical microbiologists, physicians, students, research scientists and laboratory managers.
• E-mail notification of CACMID’s e-news updates
• Have your name and contact information included on the Members Directory (opt-out available)
• Support of the the annual CACMID-AMMI joint conference, enabling the CACMID board and Scientific organizing committee to develop a high impact scientific program in the areas of clinical microbiology, infectious diseases and microbiology research.
• Support of and access to CACMID workshops/eductional training events and other CACMID-affiliated or CACMID-funded meetings and workshops.
• Technologist travel grants to attend the annual CACMID-AMMI conference. Grants usually range from $250 – $1000 (depending on distance travelled), with the only requisite being that the laboratory technologist or technician member presents an oral or poster presentation.
• Reduced registration fees at the annual CACMID-AMMI joint conference - and the reduction in fees is usually larger than the amount of membership dues, so the economics are in your favour!
• Membership cards to proudly display your affiliation with CACMID. The membership cards will also include a new, formalized membership # to provide an easy reference any time you are requested for this # (conference registration, renewal, travel grants, etc).
