Agreement
  In consideration of my membership in the APA and the District Branch, which I understand is a privilege and not a right, I agree that APA may make inquiries about me and that I am not entitled to the results, that I will pay the dues required on or before the due date, that I will adhere to the standards of ethical practice and conduct as well as the procedures outlined in the Principles of Medical Ethics With Annotations Especially Applicable to Psychiatry, that APA may publish my membership data in its membership database to which all members and third parties permitted by APA will have access, that APA may provide government authorities all information pertaining to me if in receipt of a subpoena from authorities or if the institution seeking the information is a public institution which has paid all or any portion of my membership dues or CME fees, and that I will hold APA, the District Branch, and if applicable, the State Association harmless from any and all liability arising out of or relating to my membership, including but not limited to, decisions concerning membership, ethics, and/or the provision or storage of my personal and/or financial information. 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 [email protected]. APA’s Ethics Committee may follow up with you in the event it receives notice of an action or investigation from you.
