Steps To Endorsement®
1. FAIMH Membership
Attend an Office Hour
Attend an Endorsement Office Hour where FAIMH will confirm your best-fit Endorsement® Category.
After FAIMH has confirmed your best-fit Endorsement® Category, FAIMH will email you our upcoming Endorsement® Cohorts with links to reserve your spot to apply. Each cohort will be limited and registration will close once a cohort reaches its max.
RSVP for 2024 Endorsement Office Hours
Register for a Cohort
On the date your Cohort starts, you will be given access to register in EASy (FAIMH’s secure web-based Endorsement® application software) via email.
After you complete your EASy registration, you will receive an email notification from the Endorsement Coordinator regarding whether your application has been accepted.
Complete Your Application
-
You will receive your EASy login credentials via email.
-
Additionally, you will be assigned an Endorsement® Advisor who will guide you through your Endorsement® Application. EASy has in-system messaging and help tools that allows you to ask questions along the way.
-
Complete your application within your 90-day timeframe. This tends to be ample time, as it generally takes IFA/IFS applicants 2-3 hours, and takes approximately 3-5 hours for IIMHS and IMHM Applicants.
Submitted Application
Your application will undergo a 2-tier review by FAIMH’s Endorsement® Reviewing Team:
-
IFA and IFS are notified of the status of their Endorsement® after the reviewing process is complete.
-
IMHS and IMHM (Clinical, Policy, and Research/Faculty) Applications are reviewed and notified regarding eligibility to sit for the Endorsement® Exam. IMHS and IMHM Applicants will also need to successfully pass the Endorsement® Exam.
