The association is made up of Regular Members, Associate Members, and Supporting Members, and is currently accepting applications for membership. If you are interested in joining the association as a Regular Member, you are first invited to become an Associate Member.
Membership types for medical institutions
There are three types of membership categories for medical institutions: Associate Members, “Transplantation Medical Institutions (Regular Members)” who can perform transplants, and “Consultation and Collaboration Institutions (Regular Members)” who receive consultations from patients about transplants and refer them to transplant medical institutions.
If you are considering joining our association as a Regular Member, you will first be guided through the process of becoming an “Associate Member”.
Once you become an Associate Member and have a thorough understanding of fecal microbiota transplantation, you can register as a “Transplantation Medical Institution (Regular Member)” or “Consultation and Collaboration Institutions (Regular Member)” upon approval of the Board of Directors if you wish.
