Still basking from its "MindGames" victory at APA's 2007 annual
meeting (see Psychiatry Residents Are Masters of MindGames), the
psychiatry residency training program at the State University of New York
(SUNY) at Buffalo has scored another achievement: all of its psychiatry
residents have 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.
Commented training director Cynthia Pristach, M.D., "The University
at Buffalo Department of Psychiatry has 23 residents in the general psychiatry
program, many of whom are active in the district branch and the national
organization of the American Psychiatric Association. The residents recognize
the importance of participation in our professional organization and have a
strong commitment to patient care and advocacy. We are proud to have 100
percent membership in the American Psychiatric Association."
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.
