Find Your Voice in APA

Are you looking for a forum in which to share your experiences and concerns? Are you considering changing your practice setting? Do you want to find out what's going on with other psychiatrists in similar practice settings? If you answered yes to any of these questions, the APA caucus program is for you.

The program highlights topics important to psychiatrists working in specialized treatment settings or with particular patient groups. Each meeting is an open forum to which you can bring your concerns, comments, complaints, or kudos and discuss them with colleagues who may be experiencing similar issues. Here is the schedule of caucuses meeting at APA's annual meeting later this month in Toronto:
