The psychiatry residency training program at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital
Center in New York City 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.
Said Scott Masters, M.D., the director of the training program, "To
be a resident in psychiatry and to not be a member of APA means missing out on
the most important extra-residency learning opportunity available to trainees.
I am proud that each of our 36 residents has become a member-in-training of
APA and that many have become active as workshop and postor presenters at our
national meetings. Our residents have quickly learned the value of meeting
residents from other programs and practicing psychiatrists and researchers
from around the nation at annual meetings and New York County District Branch
events. Our residents have come to develop a professional identity that is
deeper and more established than being just a member of a training program or
department of psychiatry. St. Luke's-Roosevelt is proud to be the latest
member of the 100% Club."
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.
