Fellowship is the highest level of recognition and membership within ACHSM. Attaining Fellowship demonstrates the attainment of significant health leadership and management competencies.

At the ACHSM May 2024 Board Meeting, the Board considered a recommendation to require that members who wish to undertake Fellowship by examination should complete the Certification Program prior to applying to undertake Fellowship by examination.

This recommendation was approved by the Board for implementation from the 2025 Fellowship by examination cohort intake.
