The American Psychiatric Association is the largest organization of psychiatric professionals in the world. While residents and fellows are often members of the APA, most are not aware of what kinds of opportunities for career advancement such organizations can provide. Dr.Rebecca Brendel, a psychiatrist, lawyer and advocate for organizational psychiatry, shares personal stories of how she became involved with the APA and how trainees can further invest in their futures by becoming key decision-makers in the local and national psychiatric organizations.
In this episode, we discuss the following:
- What is the APA and what kinds of opportunities can it offer trainees?
- What are some introductory steps all residents and fellows can take to become involved in their local organizations?
- How can trainees contribute to the decision-making process within psychiatric organizations?
- How can psychiatric organizations further serve the needs of trainees?
- What are the benefits of early involvement and how can such involvement transform into a stepping stone for life beyond training?
