Why join AACDP?

• No one understands the opportunities and challenges of conducting research, providing leading edge clinical care, and educating the next generation like we do.
• We provide orientation sessions for new chairs, a networking session for female chairs and a workshop for associate members (associate & vice chairs).
• AACDP meetings are a great opportunity to network with colleagues who understand and share the challenges you face.
• Leadership training and peer mentoring for you and for your rising leaders in your department who can now join (with your support) as Associate Members.
• AACDP supports advocacy efforts: for example, AACDP helped get APPI to reduce fees for use of SCID-5 for academic institutions/training-research activities
• AACDP hosts and facilitates active discussions about future of psychiatry, integrated care, healthcare reform
