APA's 100% Club Gains Two New Member Programs

Published Online:3 Oct 2008https://doi.org/10.1176/pn.43.19.0022

Two psychiatry residency programs inducted this year into APA's 100% Club are located in two bordering states: they are Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, N.C., and the University of South Carolina in Columbia.

“We are very pleased and fortunate that our educational fund supports our residents joining the APA,” said Harold Elliott, M.D., director of Wake Forest's resident psychiatry program in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine. “Through this fund, we are now able to finance 100 percent participation in APA for members in training. Here at Wake Forest we believe that APA is an integral part of becoming an active participant in the psychiatry community.”

The University of South Carolina's (USC) School of Medicine was one of the first of three general psychiatry residency programs to join the 100% Club back in 2002, the year the program started. “I am proud to now have 100 percent membership of not only our general program, but our geriatric, forensic, and child and adolescent fellowships as well,” said Richard Harding, M.D., chair of USC medical school's Department of Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Science.

APA's 100% Club was created to encourage the directors and chairs of psychiatric residency programs to promote APA membership to their residents. Today, all programs that reach that goal receive a group photo of their residents, mounted on a wooden plaque. Each program also receives a major psychiatric textbook, and residents get a one-year subscription to Focus: The Journal of Lifelong Learning, both published by American Psychiatric Publishing Inc.

Psychiatry residents and directors of residency programs seeking more information about APA's 100% Club can contact Nancy Delanoche of APA's Division of Education at (703) 907-8635 or .▪
