Medical Amateur Radio CouncilThe MARCO organization is open to all licensed amateur radio operators who are health care professionals, affiliated with the medical industry, research, or a public member who is interested in their health and health-related topics.
Joining MARCO/HealthCare Hams allows use of Web based member only features. Some of the important benefits are
- Our membership directory where members can not only share and communicate with others but also choose what membership information they would like to share. Search for other members in you state or city, those with common careers or specialties, and much more.
- Manage your own membership renewals and print membership cards.
- Access to the full archive of Aether newsletter editions, 1984-current (being updated)
We encourage students who are planning for healthcare careers and professional school to apply. Students with this background receive courtesy student membership.
How are Dues Structured and Processed?
There are three options for dues for members. One year memberships are $25, two years $45, and 5 years $100, your preference of term.
Applying for new membership can be done through this Website. Current members can renew their membership and specify the length of your term. Make sure you are registered to log-in to our member-only portion of this site. Members get access to more content including document archives (Aether and Grand Rounds, in progress of archiving), a searchable membership directory, blogs, and more.
There are two categories of membership that impart basically the same level of member benefits, with a unified dues structure. In brief regular members are those members who have degrees or certifications in the healing arts while associate members are those who do not but have an interest in the healing arts. See our by-laws for full details. When membership applications are submitted the membership committee assigns the membership type based on the information provided in the application.
