Membership & Member Representative Questions
Membership & Member Representative Questions
Q: How many representatives am I allowed with my program membership?
A: For Active and Associate memberships (excluding Fellowship Programs), there are a total of 5 physician members and one coordinator/administrative staff members included with your membership dues. Additional representatives may be added over the five included representatives for a fee of $125 per additional representative and $85 per additional coordinator/administrative staff members.
There are 5 specific member types included in the 5 total physician members. That break down is below.
Q: I am a Fellowship Program Director, can I be added to the residency programs membership? OR Can my Fellowship Program have its own membership separate from the residency program?
A: The residency program can add a Fellowship Director to its member representative listing. They can either add the Fellowship Director as a primary representative for no fee or if all of their slots are full they can add the Fellowship Director as an additional representative for $100. Also a Fellowship Program can have its own Associate membership separate from the residency program, however, this type of membership is only allowed ONE (1) Member Representative (the Fellowship Director) and not five (5) like a residency program membership.
Q: How do I add an additional representative? Can I add them online?
A: YES! The program director or program coordinator for each member program can add additional representatives to their program online. Click here for instructions. If you are adding a new representative in the middle of the year, CORD staff will bill you for your additional representatives weekly.
To add an additional representative by check or through CORD staff please complete the additional representative form and return to CORD with your payment.
Q: Can I add an additional representative now and have my accounting department mail you a check later?
A: Unfortunately no, payment must be received at the time the additional representative is added.
Q: Can I change my member representative listing for my program?
A: Each year CORD lists the member representatives for your program on the dues invoice, to change a member follow the instructions here.
Please remember when making changes: There is NO FEE to change a representative, however, you cannot remove a coordinator/administrative staff representative and add a physician representative. The replacement must be replacing a similar type of representative (i.e. residents must be replaced by a resident, coordinators must be replaced by a coordinator/admin) If you are making an addition and have reached your maximum number of representatives you will be billed a fee per representative added.
Q: How do I add an additional Program Coordinator?
A: Exactly the same as adding any other representative. Instructions are here.
Q: How do I change my email address for the Listserv? When I update my email on the CORD website doesn't this automatically update my email on the listserv?
A: Unfortunately updating your email address on the website does not update your email on the listserv. There are three (3) ways to update your listserv email: 1. Send an email to CORD staff requesting your email be updated on the listserv, please included your old email address and the new email address in your message. 2. Click the Ask CORD A Question! red tab on the bottom right corner of any page and ask the online chat help to update your email address on the listserv. 3. Complete the Update Email Address on Listserv form located on the "About CORD" menu above, then "Membership" and then click the link to Update your email on the listserv.
