Medical Students:
Membership with the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry is FREE for medical students. Upon registering, you will automatically be signed up as a member of the Academy. You are only required to present verification of your enrollment in a medical school program. If registering onsite, you will be required to provide a photocopy of your ID or a letter from your program director. Medical Students can register for ticketed events at half price of the member fee. Enter the half price in the total column.

Child Fellows and Other Residents:
A photocopy of your ID or a letter from your program director must be attached to your registration form to qualify for a reduced registration fee if you are a non-member. (AACAP Resident and Trainee members have already submitted proof of status.) We cannot process your registration if a photocopy of ID (or letter) is missing. Residents can register for ticketed events at half price of the member or non-member fee. Enter the half price in the total column.

Monitors:
Students and other non-professionals qualify to earn free registration by volunteering as monitors for one full day. Click here to apply for a position as a monitor, or e-mail meetings@aacap.org.

Non-Members Joining AACAP:
Joining AACAP before the meeting saves you up to $250 on your registration! In addition to the savings, you become part of a growing community of child and adolescent psychiatrists dedicated to the advancement of our field.

There are three ways to take advantage of this offer: 1) call Member Services today (202.966.7300 ext. 2004), 2) download the Non-Member Joining form  and fax it to Member Services (202.464.0131), or 3) mail in your completed Non-Member Joining form to AACAP 3615 Wisconsin Ave NW, Washington, DC 20016.

The $595 registration fee includes a full Annual Meeting registration and a one year membership with the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. By joining now, you’ll receive over 3 free months of membership! AACAP membership is available to physicians with additional training beyond medical school in general psychiatry, and in an approved child and adolescent psychiatry training program. Membership is also available to physicians who are making a contribution to the field of child and adolescent psychiatry and are in related fields, i.e., pediatrics, general psychiatry, etc. Medical students and residents can enjoy a reduced membership fee by inquiring about our additional membership categories for those still in training. Child and adolescent psychiatrists outside of the United States could be eligible for our Corresponding membership category. Visit www.aacap.org for more details on the membership categories and valuable member benefits.

All onsite non-member joining registrants must pay the non-member price for registration. Once the completed membership application has been received, a refund will be issued shortly after the meeting. If membership materials have not been received within 30 days after the Annual Meeting, all registration monies will be forfeited to the AACAP and you will not be eligible for a refund.
