The Academy of Health Information Professionals
Benefits
Membership in the Academy of Health Information Professionals benefits professional librarians, as well as the institution that employs them.
For the Professional Librarian
For the professional librarian, academy membership provides a structure
for professional development. From the initial needs assessment and mentoring
of provisional members to the recognition of professional accomplishments
of distinguished members, the academy is here to support professional
librarians. Membership in the academy recognizes and encourages professional
activities, and the AHIP designation demonstrates this commitment to professional
development.
For the Employing Institution
Employing institutions view academy membership as proof that their
librarians are committed to their own professional development and continuing
education. Institutions who value academy membership recognize and reinforce
the importance the health information professional plays in their organization.
