MEMBER SERVICES FORA are flexibly designed programs of 1-2.5 hours duration that are intended to provide practical service and/or skill-based teaching to AACAP members and/or meeting attendees. Programs might include a mix of didactic lectures, discussion, and hands-on learning exercises. Some examples of past successful topics include updates on CPT codes, advocacy training, junior faculty development, student debt management, starting a private practice, and NIH funding opportunities. Unlike workshops which largely teach evidence-based approaches to clinical care, Member Services Fora are designed to inform or discuss larger topics and skills pertinent to child and adolescent psychiatrists. Member Services Fora are free and can be open to all meeting attendees, or limited to AACAP members-only at the recommendation of the submitter.

Submissions should specify the length of time (1-2.5 hours) proposed for the session, and clearly describe the program agenda with a precise outline of how the time is organized, as well as the intended audience. Provide clear educational goals and indicate how the Member Services Forum will achieve these goals. Clearly specify the roles and contributions of each presenter. Approximately 12 Member Services Fora spaces are available.

The following information is required:

  • The title of the submission
  • Indication of the expected length of the program
  • The chair’s affiliation and email address
  • Educational learning objectives
  • A Review Abstract that describes the program’s objectives, educational approach, schedule, and role of each presenter
  • Indication of the expected length of the program
  • Each presenter's name, affiliation, contact information, email address, and disclosure of affiliations
