Candidate’s Views

I have almost completed my initial term as a member of the APA Board of Trustees representing Area 5. I should like to have the opportunity to return for a second term. APA is facing a number of issues internally as well as externally. Reduced reimbursement for psychiatric services has resulted in diminished access to care as well as inadequate care in too many instances. The changing nature of psychiatric practice has resulted in a reversal of membership growth within APA. In the current climate we must all work together to achieve gains in the following areas:
•. 
Achievement of nondiscriminatory payment for psychiatric services
•. 
Unfettered access to psychiatric services for those in need
•. 
APA restructuring to achieve maximum organizational effectiveness
•. 
Effective recruitment and retention of psychiatrists into APA
•. 
Enhanced funding for research and education
•. 
Recruitment of “the best and brightest” into our training programs
•. 
Recognition of the diversity of APA membership with supportive programmatic development
•. 
Protection for psychiatrists’ scope of practice
If returned to the Board for a second term, I shall work vigorously to achieve results in each area critical to our membership and to our patients.
