The psychiatry residency training program at the Ohio State University
Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, 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.
"The Ohio State University Department of Psychiatry has a
long-standing tradition of sponsoring APA membership for its trainees,"
said Julie A. Niedermier, M.D., the program's training director. "We
believe it is essential for residents to appreciate this important political,
educational, and clinical forum for organized psychiatry. Through APA
membership, residents develop a greater sense of professional responsibility
and integrity that compels them to advocate for patients and the profession in
various capacities at the local, state, and national levels."
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.
