The American Academy of Spine Physicians has added an auto renewal option for applicants and its members. The auto-renewal option can be chosen online at the time of application or after becoming a member. This option may be important for those who wish to ensure uninterrupted exposure on the NATIONAL DIRECTORY OF SPINE PHYSICIANS and for those who wish to ensure proper application of continuing education credits obtained through the AASP towards Diplomate status with American Academy of Spine Physicians or Fellow status with the American College of Spine Physicians.
