Starting your journey as a Medical Associate Professional is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve created the CMAPs Student Membership – your first step into a supportive professional community.
As a student member, you’ll gain exclusive access to our UMAPs & CMAPs WhatsApp Community – a national network of peers, trainees, and qualified MAPs. It’s your space to:
- Build professional connections early – network with colleagues across the UK before you graduate.
- Stay informed – hear about profession-wide developments, upcoming events, and shared experiences from working MAPs.
- Get real-world insights – benefit from advice, tips, and encouragement from those already in the field.
- Find your voice – take part in conversations shaping the future of the profession.
Best of all? It’s completely free.
Joining CMAPs as a student means you’re already part of the College before your career begins – so when you qualify, you can seamlessly step into full membership with access to CPD, resources, and more.
