Emergency Psychiatry
The needs of psychiatrists working in the
emergency settings are unique and this
Association, more than any other, strives to
represent its members and provide
opportunities for them to learn and to
network. The American Association of
Emergency Psychiatry is the voice of
emergency mental health professionals. AAEP
organizes regional conferences, symposia and
workshops to discuss the latest information
relative to emergency mental health care,
teaching, research and funding. AAEP has
developed a model curriculum for training in
Emergency Psychiatry and continues to make a
difference in the way emergency psychiatry
services are delivered, improving the lives
of our patients. We have collaborative
relationships with consumer and family
organizations, other neutral health groups,
researchers, and policy groups. As an APA
Allied Organization, AAEP formally
represents Emergency Psychiatry within that
organization.
