linktr.ee/aaap1985 Members do not need to be physicians and the number of non-physician members actively serving on committees is growing.

Founded in 1985, the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry (AAAP) is an academic membership society organization and joint accredited continuing education provider whose main educational mission is to educate health care professionals in the prevention and treatment of substance use disorders and co-occurring mental disorders. The organization is governed and operated by a Board of Directors, an Executive Committee, a Chief Executive Officer, and a variety of member committees that report to the Board of Directors. These committees provide members the opportunity to participate and contribute in a collegial environment to define and carryout the mission of the organization. AAAP provides all healthcare providers with an opportunity to work with colleagues in collaborations, learn up-close from thought leaders, and contribute their own knowledge to an ever-expanding dialogue.

🥁 And the debate winner is…the “Perils” team!

Audience polling moved from For 40% / Against 18% / Undecided 43% to For 23% / Against 64% / Undecided 13%.

That +46-point surge for “Against” delivered the largest shift and the win. Ninety-four percent of attendees reported being open to changing their vote—mission accomplished for a rigorous, minds-open discussion.

Thanks to the Chair Joao P. De Aquino, M.D., the speakers, and attendees for an energizing debate!
