APA Announces New Retired and Semi-Retired Membership Categories
Abstract
The winning programs reflect the ever-increasing use of digital tools in psychiatry and attention to early psychosis
Beginning in January 2022, APA is instituting two new membership categories approved by the Board of Trustees and Assembly in 2018. The membership categories are “semi-retired” and “retired,” and qualified members can opt into these categories by Saturday, July 31, for the 2022 membership renewal year at my.psychiatry.org and select the “Retired Opt in” tab.
A semi-retired member is defined as a general or life member who is near retirement age and works less than 15 hours a week in all administrative or clinical roles. A retired member is defined as a general member who has reached retirement age and is fully retired from all administrative or clinical roles.
These categories will replace the “Rule of 95” starting with the 2022 renewal year. Those in inactive or life categories prior to 2022 may choose to remain there. ■
