APA's 100% Club Picks Up Another Member Program

Published Online:4 Apr 2008https://doi.org/10.1176/pn.43.7.0008

At the moment that all 27 members of the psychiatry residency training program at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia had joined APA last year, they and their program also became members of APA's 100% Club.

APA's exclusive club was established to challenge psychiatry residents throughout the United States and Canada to join APA and become active in the Association. Only programs that reach “100 percent” APA membership—where every resident in the program joins APA—are inducted into the 100% Club.

To spread the good news, not only is a group photo of the members of each residency program that joins APA and the 100% Club published here in Psychiatric News, but also the photo is transformed into a poster and mailed to medical schools across the land. In addition, the residency program is given the gift of a major psychiatry textbook from American Psychiatric Publishing Inc., as well as a year's online subscription to Focus: The Journal of Lifelong Learning.

“The American Psychiatric Association provides scientific and political leadership and advocacy for the mental health needs of our nation and worldwide leadership in the field of psychiatry and behavioral sciences,” said Ellen Sholevar, M.D., training director of Temple's residency program in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science.“ It is a great pleasure to Dr. David Baron [chair of the program], Dr. William Dubin [vice chair for clinical services], and myself to have all of our diverse, industrious, and talented 'Temple Wise Owl' residents participating as members of APA.”

Sholevar, who also serves as vice chair of education and director of child and adolescent psychiatry at Temple, added, “The educational, collegial, leadership, and political resources that come with APA membership will enrich our residents' training years, and hopefully will become a part of their careers in psychiatry.”

More information about the 100% Club is available from Nancy Delanoche of APA's Division of Education at (703) 907-8625. Programs that are interested in signing up all their residents should contact Delanoche. ▪
