Join UPCRA

Membership in UPCRA is easy to obtain.

Simply print off the UPCRA Membership Application (PDF format), fill it out, and mail it in with your membership dues.

UPCRA Membership Categories:

Membership runs from June 1 through May 31 of each year.

  • Professional - Dues are $25/year
    For any concerned professional (physician, nurse allied health practitioner, or educator) who is regularly involved in some aspect of cardiovascular and/or pulmonary rehabilitation.

  • Student - Dues are $10/year
    For any interested graduate or undergraduate student studying in a medical or related health curriculum who is enrolled for at least one-half of a full academic load for one academic year.

  • Associate - Dues are $10/year
    For any person with an interest in cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation who is not currently eligible for other membership categories.

Note: In December, 2003, the UPCRA Board of Directors approved waiving the UPCRA membership fee for members who are also AACVPR (American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation) members. So, if you are an AACVPR member, you need to mail in your UPCRA renewal form with a copy of your AACVPR membership card (or provide your current AACVPR member number). This is being done to encourage you to support our national organization. To contact the AACVPR about membership visit www.aacvpr.org. The AACVPR membership year runs from July-June. UPCRA is moving its membership year to match this. By joining AACVPR you will automatically be a UPCRA member through June of 2005. If you have any questions about this, please contact Ann Brown, membership chair, or Mike Dunlap, UPCRA president.
