IFED
SUPPORT TO ITS MEMBER ACADEMIES
IFED can provide guidance in establishing an academy through:
Providing examples of academy constitutions and bylaws.
Helping member and applicant academies obtain some of the world's top clinicians to lecture at their meetings.
This usually requires planning several years in advance, since the most sought-after clinicians schedule their travel far in advance. Both IFED officers and member academy representatives can be most helpful in contacting prominent speakers or suggesting others to help the academy reach its potential.
