2022 Theme: Social Determinants of Mental Health

Join APA for the 2022 Annual Meeting in New Orleans and Online

APA is gathering in-person for the first time since 2019, in the birthplace of jazz, New Orleans!

Our attendees’ safety is fundamental, as is flexibility for those who need it. APA is offering both the in-person experience in New Orleans and an online option connecting you from your home to the foremost scientific program in psychiatry. Whichever way you prefer to attend, it’s a chance to reconnect with your peers and reinvigorate your practice.

With 300+ educational sessions and courses covering 50+ topics, APA’s Annual Meeting in New Orleans is the best place to connect with colleagues, get the latest in scientific advances, and meet your certification and licensure requirements. This year’s meeting features a deep and timely discussion of the social determinants of mental health: the factors outside our offices and within our patients’ communities that influence the mind, from COVID, to inequity, to education, and much more.

There’s also a new Clinical Updates Track with practical pearls of wisdom; a Research Track hosted by NIDA, with sessions also from NIAAA and SAMHSA; and a special Technology Track to help you stay up to date on the major changes to clinical practice brought about by the pandemic.
