The title Fellow in the Society of Adolescent Health and Medicine (FSAHM) is an honorific designation granted to an individual who has demonstrated a long-standing commitment to the welfare of adolescents and a willingness to advocate on their behalf at a local, regional, national or international level.

Being named an FSAHM member is recognition for past or current accomplishments. For many, designation as an FSAHM status offers an opportunity to move to another level of leadership in the field of adolescent health.

The FSAHM designation involves the following one-time costs, a $75 application fee and a one-time designation fee of $225. Once the application has been received applicants will be invoiced the $75 application fee. After their application has been processed and approved the applicant will be invoiced the one-time designation fee of $225. This is placed in unrestricted funds, to be used by the Board to support special initiatives. FSAHM status does not affect annual membership fees. 

Becoming a Fellow makes it possible for leaders from a wide range of disciplines to earn recognition for their contributions to adolescent health reflecting SAHM’s multidisciplinary constituency and international identity. Honorary Fellow status can be awarded to a non-member of SAHM in recognition of important and clearly documented contributions to adolescent health and well-being.
