Another Residency Program Joins APA's 100% Club
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."
