An APA Caucus is defined as a group of self-selected special interest psychiatrists members. The purpose of APA specialty interest caucuses is to promote communication and networking among member psychiatrists who share a special interest so that they may bring attention to important or emerging issues to APA, patient care and the practice of psychiatry within that special interest area.
Learn about APA's seven Minority and Underrepresented (M/UR) Caucuses here.
Membership in caucuses is free, and reserved for APA membership. Caucus members enjoy access to APA Communities, an online message board where they can communicate and network with other member psychiatrists who share their interests.
Join an APA caucus by logging in to my.psychiatry.org and updating your member profile. If you are already a member of an APA caucus, you can log in and access APA Communities here.
