The Association for Academic Psychiatry (AAP) focuses on education in psychiatry at every level from the beginning of medical school through lifelong learning for psychiatrists and other physicians. AAP seeks to help psychiatrists who are interested in careers in academic psychiatry develop the skills and knowledge in teaching, research and career development that they must have to succeed. AAP provides a forum for members to exchange ideas on teaching techniques, curriculum, and other issues and to work together to solve problems. The Association works with other professional organizations on mutual interests and objectives through committee liaison and collaborative programs.

  • Mentorship from faculty of all levels from all over the country.
  • Building relationships that foster collaboration between several academic systems.
