APA Lifers to Host Special Events at Meeting

The APA Lifers will hold a series of events during APA's 2010 annual meeting in New Orleans. The group's mission is to support APA and its members who have achieved life member, life fellow, and distinguished life fellow status.

These members work with APA in furthering its work to benefit patients and advancing the future of psychiatric research and services. In doing so, the Lifers engage in related charitable, educational, and social endeavors in psychiatry and bring into closer fellowship the members who have reached life status within APA.
