Training Director Membership
Membership Matters
NEW! AADPRT now accepts memberships from non-accredited institutions, meaning both their physicians and PAs can take advantage of AADPRT resources much needed by new programs and programs that cannot be accredited. See "Become a member" section below.
Whether you are a new member or a 'lifer,' AADPRT values your membership and provides the excellent resources you need to turn residents into world class psychiatrists. From our Virtual Training Office chock full of model curriculum and all things psychiatry education to our listservs, mentorship program, and Academic Psychiatry Journal access, we are Training Directors' go-to place.

AADPRT's membership year is 7/1 - 6/30 and is not prorated. The annual renewal period is 7/1 - 8/31.
Beginning 7/1/25, AADPRT will accept members from non-accredited programs in addition to ACGME-accredited programs. Non-accredited programs fall into one of two categories:
- Programs that have applied to ACGME for accreditation.
- Programs that cannot be accredited (e.g. community psychiatry programs), but are sponsored by an ACGME-accredited General Psychiatry program that is an AADPRT member.
Only Individual Members of ACGME-accredited programs can hold AADPRT leadership positions and be the voting representative for their program. Voting responsibility is assigned to the general psychiatry training director. Below is the breakdown of the membership categories.
Individual Member
Affiliate Member
Emeritus Member

Individual Member: $300 annual fee -- This is in addition to the required institution fee, which is assigned to the program administrator (PA) when they create an account. See PA membership page.
This class of membership consists of psychiatrists, including, but not limited to, Training Directors and Associate/Assistant Training Directors of general and subspecialty psychiatric residency programs, as well as chairs, vice chairs, and department heads who oversee such programs, and psychologists who are actively involved in psychiatry residency training (pending AADPRT leadership review). All Training Directors representing an institution must apply for an individual rather than an affiliate membership. Individual members have these benefits:

- Complimentary subscription to Academic Psychiatry Journal (2 per institution; additional subscriptions are $88 ea.)
- May submit a workshop and/or poster for consideration for the Annual Meeting

To become an individual member, Institution Dues, which are separate from Individual Dues, must be paid. These are assigned to the program administrator (coordinator) when they create their account. Individual Members of the institutional sponsor must complete the online membership application and pay with credit card. Psychologist member applications will be reviewed and approved by AADPRT leadership. Once the application has been approved and payment has been received, membership shall be granted.

Similar to individual members, each affiliate member receives all of the aforementioned benefits plus:
