Early Career Psychiatrists

If you have any questions or would like to get more involved, please contact the ECP Representative in your local District Branch, Area, or National Committee.

Mission Statement of the Committee on ECPs
The Assembly Committee on Early Career Psychiatrists provides bi-directional communication between the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and its general members who are in the early stages of their psychiatric careers. The Committee seeks to enhance the experiences of early career psychiatrists within the APA and to promote career development. The Committee works to fulfill three aims:
1) to help identify and represent the interests of early career psychiatrists locally, regionally, and nationally
2) to facilitate participation of early career psychiatrists within the membership and leadership of the APA and its district branches
3) to contribute to policy making and educational endeavors of the APA as they relate to the professional development of early career psychiatrists.
