Joining the National Register

Who is eligible?

Membership of the CAMIP Voluntary Register is open to medical illustrators who are either previous but lapsed members of the register or who hold at least a BSc degree in Medical Illustration.

In addition, lapsed professional (qualified) members of either IMI or BIPP who rejoin their professional body will automatically be registered by the professional body as a benefit of membership.

If you do not fit the above categories you may still be able to apply to join the register if you qualify under either of the following two criteria:

1. You have experience from at least the last five years in the clinical photography of patients and possess a qualification in Medical Illustration from BIPP, IMI, MAA or any other relevant awarding body.

2. You have experience from at least the last five years in the clinical photography of patients and have some qualifications in general photography but not medical photography.

In either case, you must be actively engaged in an approved CPD programme in order to satisfy “fitness to practise” criteria.
