How to Join or Renew AOCOPM Membership

Updated

AOCOPM (aocopm.org) provides a Join or Renew entry point on its website, along with a Member Login for existing members. If you are new, use Join or Renew to start an application; if you already have an account, log in to access the Member Center and renew. The site also lists a dedicated entry for trainees (students, residents, and fellows), so training status may affect which path you use.

What you get as a member

Based on the site's navigation and homepage content, member-related access and resources include:

  • Member Center — the main logged-in area for member tools and information.
  • Community Forum — described on the site as covering job postings, discussions, and announcements.
  • Committees, Policies and Bylaws — organizational documents and committee information.
  • Mentor network — the site notes you can sign up on the Emerging DO Platform to find a mentor or volunteer as one, and also sign up to participate in AOCOPM's mentor network.
  • Student chapters — there is a "Starting a Student Chapter" resource, relevant if you are at a training stage.
  • Newsletters and Calendar of Events — organizational updates and event listings.
  • CME and certification courses — the site lists CME and certification course offerings, including workshops (for example, DOT FMCSA NRCME, Basic Course in Occupational Medicine, and MRO).

Some of these may be publicly visible while others require login; the site's structure places the Member Center and Member Login as the gateway to member-specific content.

Steps to join or renew

  1. Go to aocopm.org.
  2. Choose the appropriate entry:
    • New member: select Join or Renew.
    • Existing member: select Member Login.
  3. Complete the form or log in as prompted. The site does not publish the full application form fields or fee details on the homepage, so the specific requirements appear after you enter the join/renew flow.
  4. After logging in, use the Member Center to manage your membership and access member resources.

Expected result: you either submit a new membership application or complete a renewal, and gain access to the Member Center.

If you are a trainee

The homepage includes a specific line: "Trainees (Students, Residents and Fellows) Enter Here!" If you fall into one of these categories, use that entry rather than the general join path, since trainee membership may have its own process. The site also points trainees toward the mentor network and student chapter resources.

Common sticking points

  • Login required for member content: The Member Center sits behind Member Login, so resources like the forum or committee documents may not be reachable until you are signed in.
  • No published pricing on the homepage: The site does not list dues or fees in the provided content. Check the join/renew flow or contact the organization for current amounts.
  • Contact for questions: AOCOPM lists 800-558-8686 and [email protected], plus a mailing address at 14301 Oxford Dr., Edmond, OK 73013, if you need help with membership.

Related events and courses

If your goal in joining includes continuing education, the site highlights the AOCOPM 2026 Annual Educational Conference in conjunction with OMED26, with a DOT FMCSA NRCME Course on Oct 22 and the Annual Educational Conference Oct 23–25 in Las Vegas, NV. These are listed alongside the CME and certification offerings, so membership and course registration may be connected.
