Still basking from its “MindGames” victory at APA's 2007 annual meeting (see Psychiatry Residents Are Masters of MindGames), the psychiatry residency training program at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo has scored another achievement: all of its psychiatry residents have 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 is 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. and a free online subscription to Focus: The Journal of Lifelong Learning for each year that all of their residents are APA members.
Commented training director Cynthia Pristach, M.D., “The University at Buffalo Department of Psychiatry has 23 residents in the general psychiatry program, many of whom are active in the district branch and the national organization of the American Psychiatric Association. The residents recognize the importance of participation in our professional organization and have a strong commitment to patient care and advocacy. We are proud to have 100 percent membership in the American Psychiatric Association.”
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. ▪
