Psychiatrists who identify with or are interested in any of APA’s recognized minority and underrepresented (M/UR) groups can join that group’s caucus and attend its meeting at APA’s 2020 Annual Meeting in Philadelphia.
The M/UR group caucuses were established to provide a networking opportunity and foster communication among members from diverse backgrounds.
There is no limit to the number of caucuses you may join; the only requirement is that you must be an APA member to join. There are M/UR caucuses for the following groups of psychiatrists: American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian, Asian American, black, Hispanic, international medical graduate, LBGTQ, and women.
Participation in a caucus is a pathway to the following:
Exploring shared ideas about professional growth and advancement.
Identifying, supporting, and electing top-notch M/UR members for leadership posts.
Networking with members who have a shared interest.
Advocating for minority and underrepresented patients.
Initiating mentoring relationships.
Discussing ideas with APA leadership.
Assuming leadership roles in APA. ■
