The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) created the International Candidate program to provide nonmember international plastic surgeons with substantial savings on ASAPS-sponsored continuing medical education meetings and other services. The only requirement is that the international surgeon belongs to a member-society of the International Confederation of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (IPRAS) or to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS).

By enrolling in the five-year International Candidate Program, you are eligible for:

• 25% discount on the guest surgeon scientific registration fee at any three ASAPS annual meetings during the five-year participant period (a current savings of $225 per meeting).
• Discounts of up to 25% off the regular international surgeon prices on selected ASAPS programs, products and services, such as patient education brochures, slide presentations, videotapes and other items designed to enhance your aesthetic practice.

An annual fee of $200 enables you to attain and retain ASAPS International Candidate status during this five years of eligibility. At any time during or after your five-year enrollment period, you may decide to apply for one of the limited number of Corresponding membership vacancies in the Aesthetic Society.

Please note that International Candidate status is NOT a membership classification. However, it offers significant benefits and the opportunity for you to become better acquainted with the Aesthetic Society programs. ASAPS encourages International Candidates who meet the membership criteria to apply for International Active Membership. To request a brochure outlining the ASAPS Corresponding Membership application process, call the ASAPS Central Office at 800.364.2147 or 562.799.2356.
