This Week on MLANET (11/7/2024): Alphabet Soup, Membership Dues, Invoices & Receipts
Live Applications
In our alphabet soup of applications, all AHIP (Academy of Health Information Professionals) and IPR (Individual Participant Request) forms are now active:
- Instructions for and links for new AHIP applications and application forms are available for all levels.
- Instructions and links for AHIP renewal applications are available for all levels (including Provisional renewal and Emeritus).
- The IPR (individual Participant Request) allows you to pre-submit CE courses you have taken that were not pre-approved by MLA to use these extramural courses for your AHIP or specialization applications. You do NOT need to wait to submit these with those applications.
Instead, if approved, these courses are added to your MEDLIB-ED transcript and do not need to be re-approved if used for more than one application.
In Process Applications
- Specialization Applications (CHIS, DSS, SRSS) available shortly.
- RTI (Research Training Institute) application available shortly.
- Grants, Scholarship, and Fellowship applications (December).
MLA Membership Dues
In September 2024, the Board of Directors, on recommendation from the MLA Finance Committee, approved an MLA dues increase for all membership categories, ranging from 3.8% to 4.9%. While this does not increase dues at the rate of inflation MLA experienced with costs, it will help balance the budget in 2025. Find all dues information on MLANET.
Printable Invoices or Receipts
If you choose to pay by check or if your institution requires an invoice before payment, you can now print an invoice/receipt immediately or later from your “Orders” area.
