The residency training program at Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Bronx-Lebanon Hospital in the Bronx, N.Y., 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 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. In addition, programs in the 100% Club receive a major textbook from American Psychiatric Publishing Inc. for each year that all of their residents are APA members and a free online subscription to Focus: The Journal of Lifelong Learning.

Commented Jeffrey Levine, M.D., residency training director and chair of the deparment of psychiatry, “Bronx-Lebanon residents take their role as the future of psychiatry very seriously. They want to be involved in creating a health care environment that will make it possible for them to care for patients successfully. Maybe because many have come from other parts of the world initially, they understand the importance of being active and working collaboratively and openly with colleagues. They are very proud to be psychiatrists.”
