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.
The first 10 training programs whose residents all become APA members in the same year can submit a photo of their program members—residents, training directors, and department chair— and the photo will be turned into a poster and mailed to every medical school in the United States and Canada to encourage medical students to join APA.
Debra Katz, M.D., the program's residency training director, commented on the great extent to which the program's members are active in organized psychiatry.
“Dr. Edwina Zettler, a member of the APA Committee of Residents and Fellows and the current chief resident at the University of Kentucky, has stressed the importance of APA membership from the first day of new resident orientation,” she said. “Dr. Vincent Blanch, a PGY-2 resident, has just become Area 5 member-in-training representative to APA, and seven residents attended APA's annual meeting this year in New York City.
“Our child and adolescent residents are equally active, with 100 percent membership in the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Further, the University of Kentucky program participates actively in local and national advocacy efforts and developed a unique telemedicine outreach program for which it won the Award for Creativity in Psychiatric Education in 2002 from the American College of Psychiatrists.”
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. ▪
