The psychiatry residency training program at Maimonides Medical Center in
Brooklyn, N.Y., 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 is 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. and a free
online subscription toFocus: The Journal of Lifelong Learning for
each year that all of their residents are APA members.
"The psychiatry residency training program at Maimonides Medical
Center is dedicated to training residents educated in the United States and
throughout the world and to serve our highly diverse, multi-ethnic,
multilingual urban community of patients," said Jeffrey Goldberg, D.O.,
program director. "APA membership for our psychiatry residents provides
an opportunity to enhance their learning about American psychiatry; to be
exposed to the latest advances in psychiatric knowledge and treatments; to
network with teachers, scholars, and colleagues; and to observe
organizational, social, and political factors affecting the care of our
patients."
For Goldberg, becoming involved in organized psychiatry is not just an
academic goal set for his residents: Goldberg is a former president of the
Kings County District Branch and is currently its public affairs
representative.
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.
