The APA has announced a new member benefit that will be rolled out in the coming weeks, a “Find a Psychiatrist” online, searchable database that APA members can opt-into (link will take you to an easy to complete online form). The goal is to populate the database before posting it publicly to the website. To view the functionality of the new database, click here.  The purpose of this new benefit is three-fold: 1) to create a centralized place for patients to find psychiatrists; 2) to assist psychiatrists who are accepting patients; and 3) to reduce the call volume at the APA and District Branches (DBs)from patients seeking psychiatrists. This initiative is mainly in response to an APA Assembly Action Paper and DBs who wanted the APA to develop this service.  Contact Jon Fanning, Chief Membership and RFM-ECP Officer, at jfanning@psych.org or 703-907-8656 with any questions.
