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.
The director of the Jamaica Hospital residency program is Diane Sacks, M.D., and Seeth Vivek, M.D., is chair of the department of psychiatry.
Commented Vivek, “As the most recent residency program in the most ethnically diverse county in the United States, Queens County, N.Y., we are proud of our commitment to academic excellence. We provide the most intensive and multimodal training feasible to our trainees—the next generation of psychiatrists.”
Vivek is the Queens County Psychiatric Society Assembly representative to the APA Assembly.
More information about the 100% Club is available from Nancy Delanoche of APA'sDivision of Education and Career Development at (703) 907-8635. Programs that are interested in signing up all their residents should also contact Delanoche. ▪
