See You in the Big Easy!

APA’s 2022 Annual Meeting will be held for the first time in person since 2019, and it’s in a city that has proven popular with APA members over the years—New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz and home to the most distinctively recognized regional cuisine in this country.

In addition to reconnecting with colleagues after a stress-filled two-year break due to the pandemic, earning CME, and interacting with psychiatrists from around the world, you’ll hear from experts on emerging trends and research that will impact your practice. The theme of the meeting, chosen by APA President Vivian B. Pender, M.D., is “Social Determinants of Mental Health.” New this year is the Clinical Updates Track, which will focus on practical, clinical information that can be immediately applied to patient care. Look for more information on the program in future issues of Psychiatric News.
