Step 1 - Understand the different forms of membership and register by paying the annual fee

In order to become a member, you must register by completing the following form: Member Registration.

You do not have to be a paid member to attend our events (socials, GBMS, fundraisers, etc.), but you must be a paid member to attend clinic trips.

Types of membership:

Active Member - Register, pay annual membership fee, accumulate points

Committee Member - Register, pay annual membership fee, requires separate application

Executive Board Member - Register, pay annual membership, position-specific duties (applications open up in Spring)

Step 2 - Accumulate clinic points

Attend our meetings and participate in our fundraisers, socials and other events! Your attendance will be tracked to measure your engagement level (through clinic points). The more clinic points, the more likely you will be selected for clinic trips! (3 clinic points will be subtracted every time you are selected for a clinic to be fair to those that join later in the year)

Step 3 - Follow our instagram and Subscribe to our newsletter to stay updated

The easiest way to accumulate clinic points is by attending Flying Samaritans events! Stay updated with what events are coming up by following our Instagram at @ucsd_flyingsams, were we send out clinic trip sign-ups and various other announcements and opportunities through our newsletter.

Step 4 - accumulate clinic points by attending GBms, fundraisers, socials, etc.

GBMs are General Body Meetings that all members can attend to be updated on what is going on in Flying Sams. We review clinic/dental trip updates, specialty clinic updates, and upcoming public health/fundraising/social events for our members.

We will usually have a guest speaker or an activity after the general club announcements. We also often have fundraiser socials after GBM at TapEx or YogurtWorld for our members and officers to socialize while supporting the org!

Attending a GBM will give 1 clinic point to all members who sign in at the beginning.
