Residents Invited To Roundtable With AJP Editor

The editor of the American Journal of Psychiatry (AJP), Robert Freedman, M.D., invites all psychiatry residents to participate in the third annual residents' focus group at APA's 2008 annual meeting in Washington, D.C., to share their thoughts on how the electronic version of each AJP produced specifically for them can be made a more valuable resource for them.

The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, May 6, at 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the Grand Hyatt Washington in the Burnham Room, Constitution Level.

The electronic publication, called Residents' Journal, contains special links to the full text of the current American Journal of Psychiatry articles and to AJP Audio, a downloadable MP3 file featuring highlights from the issue. In addition, each issue contains contributions from residents who provide instructive cases, descriptions of clinical or educational programs unique to their training, perspectives on training and career development, reports of research findings, and comments on AJP articles that arise from journal club discussions.

The Residents' Journal was created in response to a residents' focus group convened at the 2006 annual meeting. And as a result of the focus group convened at last year's annual meeting, the journal began incorporating resident editors who are responsible for soliciting and creating original content for each issue.
