Another Residency Program Joins APA's 100% Club

Published Online:1 Apr 2005https://doi.org/10.1176/pn.40.7.00400040

The residency training program at Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta is the latest residency program to have all of its psychiatry residents become members of APA.

It joins the ranks of an exclusive organization within APA: the 100% Club. This club was established to encourage residents throughout the United States and Canada to join APA and to do so with other trainees in their programs, according to Deborah Hales, M.D., director of APA's Division of Education and Career Development.

A photo of each program that joins the 100% Club will be turned into a poster and mailed to every medical school in the United States and Canada to encourage medical students to join APA. In addition, programs in the 100% Club receive a major textbook from American Psychiatric Publishing Inc. for each year that all of their residents are APA members and a free online subscription to Focus: The Journal of Lifelong Learning.

The director of the psychiatry residency training program at Morehouse is John O. Gaston, M.D.

Said Gaston, “At Morehouse School of Medicine, we see membership in the American Psychiatric Association as an important part of the professional career development of our residents. We strongly encourage them to be active participants in shaping the future of psychiatry.”

More information about the 100% Club is available from Nancy Delanoche of APA's Division of Education and Career Development at (703) 907-8635. Programs that are interested in signing up all their residents should also contact Delanoche. ▪
