    ATA is the world’s largest membership association for the telemedicine, telehealth and mHealth industry.  Our members come from across the spectrum of telemedicine products and services—clinicians, researchers, administrators, IT engineers, military and government agencies, entrepreneurs and vendors. We have easy ways for you to build relationships with qualified telehealth peers.  ATA’s members-only social network, The HUB, helps you search, find, contact, and network with industry leaders on an ongoing basis.

  • Telehealth News and Breaking Updates, Delivered to Your Inbox
    ATA Members receive free weekly news briefs and breaking policy updates, keeping you informed about the ever-changing field of telemedicine. An ATA Membership will help keep you on-top of what’s going on in the field—you won’t miss a thing.  ATA also produces the largest telemedicine buyer’s guide on the web, as well as a telehealth job board.

  • Participation in ATA’s Member Groups
    ATA’s Special Interest Groups (SIGs), Regional Chapters and Discussion Groups provide members the opportunity to focus on their areas of expertise and networking with colleague with similar interests.  These groups work on speciality-specific issues and produce the standards and guidelines which will guide the future practice of telemedicine.  Members are welcome to join as many Groups as they like, for no additional cost.

  • Access to regularly scheduled ATA Educational Events
    ATA maintains a busy calendar of educational events, most of which are free for ATA Members.  Educational presentations include webinars, videocasts and conference calls, focusing on specific challenges and opportunities in the field of telemedicine.

  • A Voice on Capitol Hill
    ATA is on the forefront of healthcare and telecommunications policy, pushing to eliminate the barriers to the full deployment of telemedicine.  We regularly consult and coordinate with our members to influence federal and state policy.  In the last year, ATA has had major policy successes in the areas of reimbursement, credentialing, cross-state licensure, device regulation and patent reform. 

  • Big Savings on ATA Conferences
    ATA hosts the biggest and best conferences in the telemedicine, telehealth and mHealth space.  The ATA Annual Meeting in the Spring is the largest peer-reviewed meeting and trade show in the industry.  Our Fall Forum is a small, more targeted program focusing on specific issues in telemedicine.  ATA members receive huge discounts on meetings; if you go to just one ATA event at member-discounted price, you’ve already saved money with your membership!
