APA's 100% Club was created to encourage the directors and chairs of psychiatric residency programs to promote APA membership to their residents. Today programs that reach the goal of having all residents (100%) join APA receive a group photo on a wooden plaque.
Also, each program in the 100% Club receives a major psychiatric textbook, and residents get a one-year subscription to Focus: The Journal of Lifelong Learning for each year all the residents become APA members. The textbook and journal are published by American Psychiatric Publishing Inc.
Psychiatry residents and directors of residency programs seeking more information about APA's 100% Club can contact Nancy Delanoche of APA's Division of Education at (703) 907-8635 or [email protected].▪
