New Membership Application:

Go to the Online Membership Application (in the "Join RECAMFT" menu or click HERE).

Select the desired membership level and click the "Next" button at the bottom right of the page.

The Short Description (199 characters max) is what appears in the initial list of therapists. The Short and the (longer) Description (2950 characters max) appear in your profile. The entry fields are small so it's best to create the text in Word (or another application) and paste it into the field. Word also lets you check the number of characters (with spaces), go to the "Tools" menu and select "Word Count."

Note: Please do not select more than the maximum allowed. Any selections after the maximum allowed will be removed (this is done for reasons of fairness to other therapists in the directory). Click HERE for more on why.
