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.
The first 10 training programs whose residents all become APA members in
the same year can submit a photo of their program members—residents,
training directors, and department chair— and the photo 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.
Debra Katz, M.D., the program's residency training director, commented on
the great extent to which the program's members are active in organized
psychiatry.
"Dr. Edwina Zettler, a member of the APA Committee of Residents and
Fellows and the current chief resident at the University of Kentucky, has
stressed the importance of APA membership from the first day of new resident
orientation," she said. "Dr. Vincent Blanch, a PGY-2 resident, has
just become Area 5 member-in-training representative to APA, and seven
residents attended APA's annual meeting this year in New York City.
"Our child and adolescent residents are equally active, with 100
percent membership in the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
Further, the University of Kentucky program participates actively in local and
national advocacy efforts and developed a unique telemedicine outreach program
for which it won the Award for Creativity in Psychiatric Education in 2002
from the American College of Psychiatrists."
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.
