Membership and Fellowship of the EAC

Membership of the EAC

In May 2014, the ECU General Council approved a motion such that from 1 January 2015, membership of the EAC is open to all chiropractors who are full members of ECU member national associations, full time faculty members of ECCE-accredited educational institutions and individual members of the ECU.

This new pan-ECU membership of the EAC replaces the previous structure whereby joining the EAC required an additional subscription for Members or Fellows.

Membership of the EAC confers the following benefits:

• Access to Special Interest Groups
• Access to EAC educational resources
• Resources to Graduate Education Programme resources
• Clinical updates from special interest groups
• CPD online recording system

Fellowship (FEAC)

Members of the EAC may apply to the Court of Electors (CoE) for elevation to Fellowship status. Fellowship of the EAC reflects an advanced level of education and a commitment to the aims and objectives of the EAC. To be eligible to apply for fellowship, chiropractors will need an additional qualification, being MSc or higher.
