Abstract
The American Association of Chairs of Departments of Psychiatry was founded in 1963 and was originally a social club whose members included every medical school department of psychiatry chair. They met once a year for dinner at the annual APA meeting. The president was the chair of the department of psychiatry at the host city, and presidential responsibilities were limited to arranging the dining event. In 19651966, the first constitution was drafted for the organization. This document was approved at the May 1967 meeting, which also included the first scientific program. All of the papers presented at the 1967 meeting dealt with residency training. Not a single paper dealt with departmental budget issues or shrinking grant funding. How times have changed. Over the past 40 years, the organizational structure of the group has grown dramatically. The current executive council includes a president, president-elect, secretary/treasurer, past president, and three council members. In addition, formal liaisons to the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), the Veterans Affairs (VA), mental health advocacy groups, psychiatric education groups, and PhRMA have been established.
