Latest Research Findings to Be Spotlighted At Annual Meeting

The new research program for APA's 2006 annual meeting reflects the importance of basic and clinical neuroscience to psychiatry. The sessions are organized by topic and have been expanded to accommodate myriad excellent submissions.

The program begins Monday, May 22, at 9 a.m. with the Young Investigators' Poster Session. It continues at 1 p.m., with the three Young Investigators' Oral/Slide Sessions, which will feature the top-graded young investigator submissions. These sessions highlight some of the most exciting new research submitted by young investigators, covering a broad range of topics with fresh perspectives and surprising results.

The New Research Poster Sessions will be held Monday, 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.; Tuesday through Wednesday, noon to 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.; and Thursday, noon to 2 p.m. These sessions will be devoted to mood disorders on Monday; schizophrenia, community psychiatry, psychopharmacology, and biological psychiatry on Tuesday; anxiety, ADHD and disorders of childhood, substance abuse, sleep, and other topics on Wednesday; and treatment issues on Thursday. All of these events will be held in the Toronto Convention Centre.

The 1,011 presentations (including 150 young investigator posters and 15 oral/slide presentations) are a diverse and representative sampling of new and significant psychiatric research. We hope that you will find them informative and provocative and make time in your busy schedule to attend them. ▪
