Agreement

Any disputes that arise out of or relate to this agreement and/or my membership shall be governed by District of Columbia law without regard to its choice of law principles and any hearings or proceedings shall be heard in the District of Columbia. Upon review and acceptance of an application by the APA, you will be given provisional membership, and full APA benefits, while the District Branch (DB) reviews the application. Voting rights will not commence until you become a fully recognized member in the DB (including payment of dues) at which time you will be a fully recognized member of the APA and the DB. If a DB rejects an application, the reason will be provided along with a full refund of payment.

By renewing my APA membership, I am attesting that I either am not aware of any action or investigation by any state board of medicine regarding my license to practice medicine or that I am aware of such action and will immediately send notice of the action or investigation to APA by electronic mail to apaethics@psych.org. APA’s Ethics Committee may follow up with you in the event it receives notice of an action or investigation from you.  
Upon completion of psychiatric residency your membership status in the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and District Branch will be advanced to that of general member. In order to facilitate this transition please complete the following authorization allowing your training director to verify that you have successfully completed your residency. Please feel free to call the American Psychiatric Association at 888-357-7924 with any questions you may have.
I,give permission to or their representative (Training Program Director or Residency Program Coordinator) to release information about my psychiatric training, including my completion date, to American Psychiatric Association for the sole purpose of maintaining and updating my member file. I understand that this information will also be shared with my District Branch.
