psychiatrists.

Benefits of AACP Membership
Subscription to the Annals Of Clinical Psychiatry
The peer reviewed, Index Medicus, official Journal of the American Academy of Clinical Psychiatrists. JAMA has said of the Annals: "The journal should have broad appeal to psychiatrists interested in practical information that improves diagnosis or treatment. It will also serve as a forum to present cases at a time when other journals eschew such articles." (JAMA 267:731, 1992)

Annual George Winokur Clinical Research Award
Monetary awards, engraved plaque, presentation and recognition at the annual convention, plus paid travel expenses.

Annual Meeting and Continuing Education Programs
Each Spring themes chosen among issues of immediate interest to practicing clinicians are presented in a stimulating and attractive environment. The course provides interaction with internationally recognized speakers and CME credits.
