The following caucuses will meet during APA’s 2001 annual meeting. The APA special caucus program highlights topics important to psychiatrists. Each program is designed to be an open forum to which you may bring your questions, comments, complaints, or kudos and engage in a meaningful conversation with colleagues experiencing similar issues. Some programs feature guest speakers and topical presentations. The time and location of each meeting will be published in the Directory of Component and Allied Activities, distributed in registration packets on site in New Orleans.
