Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center (Marriott)
Monday, 3/2 - Friday, 3/6

In the dynamic field of psychiatry and medical education, we are at an important inflection point as we build community and embrace innovations. The 2026 Annual Meeting will focus on the theme: “Trust, Transformation, and Togetherness: Thriving in the Learning Environment.” 

This theme highlights the critical moment we are in as we identify new ways for us to come together as a medical education community. The learning environment in which we work and train is influenced by many factors. The physical and virtual spaces that we operate in, the personal backgrounds that we bring to our work, the social interactions that we engage in, the organizational drivers that facilitate learning, and the societal influences that contour our institutions all greatly shape our experiences. As the meeting emphasizes each of these components of the learning environment (physical spaces, virtual spaces, personal, social, organizational, and societal), we will explore a range of strategies to foster belonging and success for all.

The meeting aims to equip leaders in psychiatric education with the tools and insights needed to navigate the challenges and opportunities brought about by change. Attendees will engage in a series of though-provoking sessions, interactive workshops, innovations showcase, and networking opportunities designed to foster collaboration and inspire forward-thinking approaches in residency and fellowship training.

Join us March 2 – 6, 2025 at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando, Florida! Connect with peers, gain valuable insights, and be inspired to lead and educate our trainees amidst the ever-changing landscape of psychiatric education.

Orlando is a warm, exciting destination that many AADPRT Annual Meeting attendees will want to take advantage of before and after the Annual Meeting. Headlined by Walt Disney World, Orlando is of course home to many theme and water parks, but there is a plethora of other attractions to rejuvenate, relax, and entertain you.
