The interesting article in the September 15 issue on medical director careers might also have mentioned APA’s certification in psychiatric administration and management. The APA Committee on Psychiatric Administration and Management develops and administers the certifying examinations each year to psychiatrist applicants at all levels of clinical administration.

Information, study guides, and application materials are available from APA by sending an e-mail message to Kristen Moeller at kmoeller@psych.org. Those interested may also contact me by phone at (830) 596-0062 or by e-mail at reidpsychiatry@compuserve.com.
