Registration Types

Spouse/Significant Other Registration 
Only one spouse/significant other is allowed to register with each full registrant and cannot be an AACAP member or in a related profession. The spouse/significant other must reside in the same household as the registrant. This category is intended for a spouse/significant other who does not intend on participating the scientific sessions. CME credit is not provided and spouse/significant other registrants may not attend ticketed events. 

Medical Students, Residents, Trainees
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. (Student and resident members have already submitted proof of status.) We cannot process your registration if a photocopy of ID (or letter) is missing. Residents and medical students can register for ticketed events at half price the member or non-member fee. Enter the half price in the total column. The half price discount does not apply for the Systems of Care Special Program, Research Forum, or Medical Student, Resident, and Early Career Psychiatrist Breakfast. 

Monitors
Students and other non-professionals qualify to earn free registration by volunteering as monitors for one full day. To apply for a position as a monitor, visit www.aacap.org/cs/AnnualMeeting/2007/monitors, and follow the steps to register your interest online.
