Medical Students, Residents, and Trainees:
Attend the Annual Meeting for FREE!
What is the Monitor Program?
The Monitor Program is an opportunity for students, residents, and trainees to volunteer their time, and in return receive FREE access to the largest gathering of child and adolescent psychiatrists in the world! This program allows Monitors to network with senior child and adolescent psychiatrists, as well as with other colleagues and friends in the field.
What does a Monitor do?
Monitors assist AACAP staff in running the meeting by checking badges and tickets to confirm attendance, providing help to speakers as needed, and distributing and collecting evaluation forms and/or other materials that speakers supply. Monitors are expected to attend a short training session before they perform their duties.
Why should I register as a Monitor?
- FREE registration for all residents, trainees, and medical students
- Six days of scientific content given by the top experts in the field
- Customized programming, including a mentorship program
