APA's 100% Club Picks Up Another Member Program
The psychiatry residency training program at St. Louis University School of Medicine is the latest residency program to have all of its psychiatry residents become members of APA.
It joins the ranks of an exclusive organization within APA: the 100% Club. This club was established to encourage residents throughout the United States and Canada to join APA and to do so with other trainees in their programs, according to DeborahHales, M.D., director of APA's Division of Education.
A photo of each program that joins the 100% Club is turned into a poster and mailed to every medical school in the United States and Canada to encourage medical students to join APA. In addition, programs in the 100% Club receive a major textbook from American Psychiatric Publishing Inc. and a free online subscription to Focus: The Journal of Lifelong Learning for each year that all of their residents are APA members.
Said training director Miggie Greenberg, M.D., “We are delighted that all our residents are all APA members. APA provides valuable information and opportunities for residents during residency training and throughout their careers.”
More information about the 100% Club is available from Nancy Delanoche of APA's Division of Education at (703) 907-8635. Programs that are interested in signing up all their residents should also contact Delanoche. ▪
