APA's 100% Club Gains Two New Member Programs

Published Online:5 Dec 2008https://doi.org/10.1176/pn.43.23.0033

The psychiatry residency program at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center in Jamaica, Queens, N.Y., has joined APA's 100% Club. Another new member of the club, just 40 miles to the east, is the psychiatry residency program at Stony Brook University Medical Center.

“At Jamaica Hospital we are pleased to be in the 100% Club for several successive years,” said Seeth Vivek, M.D., chair of the Department of Psychiatry. “We recognize the importance of APA in the professional identity of a psychiatrist. We are proud of training psychiatrists who are well rounded and competent professionals.”

“We believe in teaching our residents that membership and involvement in APA is one of the most important personal commitments that each psychiatrist can make to professionalism and to the future of our medical specialty,” said Michael Schwartz, M.D., an associate professor of clinical psychiatry in the Department of Psychiatry at Stony Brook and director of residency training.

APA's 100% Club was created to encourage the directors and chairs of psychiatric residency programs to promote APA membership to their residents. Today programs that reach the goal of having all residents (100%) join APA receive a group photo on a wooden plaque.

Also, each program in the 100% Club receives a major psychiatric textbook, and residents get a one-year subscription to Focus: The Journal of Lifelong Learning for each year all the residents become APA members. The textbook and journal are 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 .▪
