ACLP Fellows are being invited to offer their services on an American Psychiatric Association (APA) group of representatives from allied organizations—the Assembly Committee of Representatives of Subspecialties and Sections (ACROSS).
ACLP is currently one of 22 organizations represented within ACROSS, thus providing a channel to the APA Board of Trustees.
Hitherto, Michael Peterson, MD, PhD, FACLP, DFAPA, has represented the Academy at ACROSS meetings. Under Academy rules, the position is open for re-election every three years.
Michael Peterson, MD, PhD, FACLP, DFAPA
Our representative on ACROSS plays a key role representing the Academy’s interests, sometimes submitting action papers or resolutions on behalf of the Academy and frequently reporting back to the Board on developments that relate to or impact issues connected with C-L Psychiatry.
The appointment for a three-year term starts at the conclusion of the APA’s 2023 annual meeting, i.e., May 24, 2023.
Candidature is open only to FACLPs. Application details are here. Dr. Peterson is eligible for re-election.
An interview with Dr. Peterson regarding his ACROSS role was published last year in ACLP News here.
The Academy of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry is a professional organization of physicians who provide psychiatric care to people with coexisting psychiatric and medical illnesses, both in hospitals and in primary care. Our specialty is called consultation-liaison psychiatry because we consult with patients and liaise with their other clinicians about their care.
With nearly 2,000 members, the Academy is the voice of consultation-liaison psychiatry in the US with international reach.
Please browse our website, read our journal, Psychosomatics, and come to our annual meeting which is in November each year. In 2020 it will be a virtual event – see www.CLP2020.org for more details.
If you are a C-L Psychiatrist and not yet a member please join our great organization and welcoming, inclusive community. Please visit this page for details on joining.
