The Biomedical Review membership process is highly selective:

Phase One

Step 1: Biomedical Review Members nominate candidates for the upcoming membership class. (Only Active, Senior-Active, or Emeritus Biomedical Review members can nominate a candidate.)
July: Nominations open for Biomedical Review Membership, see membership criteria.
September: Nominations close for Biomedical Review Membership.
Step 2: Each nomination must be seconded by a letter of support from another Active, Senior-Active, or Emeritus Biomedical Review member.

Phase Two

Step 3: Once both letters of nomination are received, the Biomedical Review will contact each candidate to complete an online profile and submit their CV.
Step 4: Each November, the Membership Committee reviews both letters of support and the candidate’s profile. They then present a recommended slate of candidates to the Executive Committee for approval.
Step 5: Each January-February, the slate of candidates is presented to the Biomedical Review Membership via the online Candidate Member Review process. Biomedical Review voting members are encouraged to participate, reviewing each candidate and providing written comments.
Step 6: Each June, a final slate of candidates is presented to the voting membership for approval at the Biomedical Review Annual Meeting. New members are notified of their acceptance into the Biomedical Review by early July.

Phase Three

Step 7: The Biomedical Review announces the new membership class after newly accepted members have been notified.
Step 8: Each June, new members are inducted at the Biomedical Review Annual Meeting the year following their election.
