Psychiatrists who identify with or are interested in any of APA’s recognized minority and underrepresented (M/UR) groups can join that group’s caucus and attend its meeting at APA’s 2017 Annual Meeting in San Diego in May.
The M/UR group caucuses were established to provide a networking opportunity and foster communication among members from diverse backgrounds.
There is no limit to the number of caucuses you may join; the only requirement is that you must be an APA member to join. There are M/UR caucuses for the following groups of psychiatrists: American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiians; Asian Americans; blacks; Hispanics; LBGTQ members; international medical graduates; and women.
Participation in a caucus is a pathway to the following:
•
Exploring shared ideas about professional growth and advancement.
•
Identifying, supporting, and electing top-notch M/UR members for leadership posts.
•
Networking with members who have a shared interest.
•
Advocating for minority and underrepresented patients.
•
Initiating mentoring relationships.
•
Discussing ideas with APA leadership.
•
Assuming leadership roles in APA.
