APA's 100% Club Gains Another Member Program

All psychiatry residents in Ohio State University's Psychiatry Residency Program have joined APA, making the program a member of the 100% Club.

“Ohio State is proud of its ongoing tradition of providing excellent training for psychiatry residents,” said Julie Niedermier, M.D., residency director in the university's Department of Psychiatry.“ We continue to affirm our support to residency training through initiatives like membership in the club.”

The 100% Club was established to encourage residents to join APA and to do so with other trainees in their programs, according to Deborah Hales, M.D., director of APA's Division of Education. Only programs in which all residents are APA members can belong to the club.

A photo of the residents in each program that becomes a member of the 100% Club is incorporated into a wooden plaque and mailed to the residency program. In addition, each program in the 100% Club receives a major textbook from American Psychiatric Publishing Inc., and each resident receives a free online subscription to Focus: The Journal of Lifelong Learning for each year that all of the program's residents are APA members.

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 her. ▪
