APA wants to ensure that you don’t miss the 2022 Annual Meeting by offering an online meeting in addition to the live meeting.

This year’s Annual Meeting in New Orleans is APA’s first hybrid meeting—it encompasses an in-person meeting in New Orleans in May and an online meeting in June. Those attending the live meeting will experience a rich program with lectures from leaders in the field covering the full spectrum of psychiatry, paired with the opportunity to see old friends and make new ones in a fabulous city and celebrate the APA Foundation’s 30th anniversary. Attendees also get complimentary access to the online program in June. Those who attend both meetings can earn up to 46.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Given the uncertainty of COVID-19, institutional travel restrictions, clinical work, and family responsibilities, APA recognizes that not everyone who wishes to attend the meeting in person will have that opportunity. The online program combines content captured during the in-person meeting as well as about 15 new sessions. Those who attend virtually also receive complimentary access to a limited APA Annual Meeting On Demand package after the online program. (On Demand offers the convenience of learning on your own time and includes slides with synchronized audio and MP3 audio files.) The CME available for this educational experience is 16.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
The virtual meeting most certainly will not be a rehashed version of the in-person meeting. It will include live Q&A with the speakers, live networking with peers, access to an art exhibit, and more. Of special fun will be the second virtual MindGames, where residency teams from across the country face off in a Jeopardy-like competition. The online MindGames was a fabulous success last year. The online poster hall is also a must see with over 1,000 posters; attendees can engage with presenters on the online platform.
APA2022 has something for everyone, so choose the experience that works best for you. You’ll be able to do the following:
•
Participate in powerful conversations on the social determinants of mental health and hear from experts on research and emerging trends that will impact your practice.
•
Attend sessions in the new Clinical Updates Track (see Psychiatric News). The speakers will address theory and science translated for clinical practice. The track will include experts on anxiety disorders, eating disorders, mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, personality disorders, sexual disorders, gender dysphoria, schizophrenia, sleep disorders, and substance use disorders. Among the track’s renowned speakers are Petros Levounis, M.D., George Koob, Ph.D., Nora Volkow, M.D., Charles Nemeroff, M.D., Ph.D., Andrew Skodal, M.D., Evelyn Attia, M.D., Timothy Walsh, M.D., Jennifer Downey, M.D., Alan Schatzberg, M.D., Helen Blair Simpson, M.D., Ph.D., and Lisa Dixon, M.D., M.P.H.
•
Meet new colleagues, reconnect with old friends, and interact with psychiatrists and mental health advocates from around the world.
We look forward to seeing you in New Orleans in May and virtually in June! ■
