Meeting to Include Opportunities For Minority Psychiatrists
APA has planned a variety of activities for minority/underrepresented psychiatrists attending this year’s annual meeting in New York City. These activities will provide an opportunity to meet with colleagues, discuss issues, and share experiences.
