All rheumatologists and trainees (45 years old and less at the time of application) from all Member National Organisations (MNOs) will be eligible to apply to become AYR member and be able to join all AYR’s activities planned by AYR Board.
AYR membership will last until the applicants turn 46 (on their birthday). For members who are already 45-year-old at the time of application, the membership will last 1 year from the time of application.
The AYR board oversees tasks such as international collaboration, social media, membership recruitment drive, and educational activities including AYR symposia. Our organization has gradually grown, with a membership drive being initiated at the 2018 APLAR Congress in Taiwan.
