APA Invites Nominations for Member-in-Training Position

Publication: Psychiatric News
Volume 41, Number 9
https://doi.org/10.1176/pn.41.9.0017a
The APA Nominating Committee is accepting recommendations for candidates for the member-in-training trustee-elect (MITTE) position for APA's 2007 election.
Each year an MITTE is elected by APA members-in-training and serves on the Board for one year without a vote. At the end of that year, the MITTE advances to member-in-training trustee (MITT) and serves on the Board for one year with a vote.
The resident elected in the 2007 election will serve as MITTE from May 2007 to May 2008, and as MITT from May 2008 to May 2009.
Residents must be APA members-intraining when recommended for the position; that is, they must have been accepted as APA members in both APA and their district branch. They must be in their PGY-2 or PGY-3 year in the summer of 2006.
Moreover, nominees must have written permission from their training directors to fulfill the two-year commitment as MITTE and MITT as a part of their training.
The Nominating Committee may consider the following in its deliberations: APA/DB activities; activity/work in psychiatry/medicine; previous organizational experience (need not be medically or psychiatrically oriented); grass-roots community experience, medical and nonmedical; training; research and publications; prior “life experience,” such as training or a job in another field; previous career; unusual background; and leadership roles that show vision and creativity.
Information about the MITTE/MITT positions, eligibility criteria, and submission forms are posted on APA's Web site at<www.psych.org/edu/res_fellows/rf/mitte.cfm>. There are additional links to the contact and demographic form, which can be submitted online, at<www.psych.org/edu/res_fellows/mitnominees.cfm>. The form to be signed by the resident's training director can be downloaded from<www.psych.org/edu/res_fellows/MITTEdirector_chairform.pdf>.
Nomination materials must be received by August 4. Items not submitted online should be sent to Steven Sharfstein, M.D., Chair, APA Nominating Committee, APA, 1000 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 1825, Arlington, Va. 22209; Attn: Carol Lewis. They can also be faxed to (703) 907-7852 or e-mailed to [email protected].
More information on the MITTE nominating process is available by contacting Lewis by e-mail at [email protected] or by phone at (703) 907-8527. ▪
