Welcome to the American Association of Chairs of Departments of Psychiatry: AACDP! This is our organization. We are run by chairs for chairs. We understand the challenges and opportunities of managing the interwoven missions of research, education, patient care, and service to the profession. Our unique position in academic centers necessitates an organization like AACDP where we can come together to address common challenges facing psychiatric chairs. I am honored to serve as AACDP president. Building on the tremendous leadership and accomplishments of those who have come before me, priorities for this year include enhancing our influence with legislators and policy-makers; increasing mentorship programs for new chairs, female chairs, and associate members; and creating leadership development opportunities and curricula for future psychiatry department chairs. If you are the chair of an academic psychiatry department, this organization is for you. Join us as we work together to shape the future of academic psychiatry while realizing the benefits of collaborating with a peer group to help you be a more effective department chair. ____________________________ Faces of AACDP____________________________ Events Spring Meeting |
