The AMA House of Delegates is composed primarily of physicians representing specialty organizations and physicians representing state medical societies. The AMA Section Council on Psychiatry continues to work well with the other medical specialty organizations involved in the AMA. It also wants to strengthen its relationship with the state medical societies, which comprise slightly more than half of the House of Delegates. To that end, APA would like to connect with psychiatrists who hold (or have held) leadership positions in their state and county medical societies.

If you are a leader in your local or state medical society, or if you know of a psychiatrist colleague who has such involvement, please contact Becky Yowell at BYowell{at}psych.org or the section council chair, Carolyn Robinowitz, M.D., at carolynrobinowitz{at}usa.net.
