Surrounded by some of the most iconic sights in the nation’s struggle for independence, more than 10,000 psychiatrists and others came to APA’s 2012 annual meeting in Philadelphia to absorb the latest knowledge in every area of clinical care and mental illness research and to chat with psychiatry’s leading lights. Especially popular were the many sessions designed to prepare psychiatrists for changes on the horizon in the way they practice.
All of this was served up in a city renowned for its culinary delights, historic sites, and world-class museums, providing a bounty of activities from which attendees could choose.
APA’s next scientific meeting, the Institute on Psychiatric Services, will be held October 4 to 7 in one of APA’s most popular meeting cities—New York. It’s not too early to plan!
1. The spacious Pennsylvania Convention Center could easily handle the large crowds who flocked to many of the annual meeting’s most popular sessions. 2. Outgoing APA President John Oldham, M.D. (right), places the presidential medallion on his successor, Dilip Jeste, M.D., who took office at the close of the annual meeting. 3. In the convocation lecture, Edward Kennedy Jr. praises APA for its extensive advocacy efforts and urges listeners to advocate forcefully for their patients and their practices. 4. In the Member Resource Center at APA’s Job Central—“the career hub for psychiatry”—psychiatrists could explore career options. 5. Glen Gabbard, M.D. (foreground), and Otto Kernberg, M.D., sign copies of their new books at the American Psychiatric Publishing Bookstore. 6. As part of the annual APA Gives Back program, APA President John Oldham, M.D., presents a check to the Philadelphia Mental Health Center.
