American Association of Chairs of Departments of Psychiatry

Welcome to AACDP!

Our organization represents the leaders of departments of psychiatry in medical schools in the United States and Canada. As such, we are committed to promoting excellence in psychiatric education, research, and clinical care. We are also committed to advocating for health policy to create appropriate and affordable psychiatric care for all.

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
