The psychiatry residency training program at Advocate Lutheran General
Hospital in Park Ridge, Ill., 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 to Focus: The Journal of Lifelong Learning for
each year that all of their residents are APA members.
"We are proud to be part of APA's 100% Club and are looking forward
to enjoying the benefits that come with It," commented Michael Wagner,
M.D., director of the training program. "We are a small, community-based
program focused on training residents to be clinicians with strong skills in
psychotherapy and biological psychiatry, helping them achieve their career
goals, providing a supportive environment for learning, and giving them
opportunities to balance their educational, professional, and personal goals
and responsibilities. The 100% Club will enhance our residents' experiences,
and we appreciate this opportunity."
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.
