To begin our highlight email series, please see below for important information about programming and registration/application deadlines.

Important travel information:
As you plan your conference travel, please note that we have scheduled exciting programming as the conference opening and closing events. On Thursday, 5/1/2025, following our Boot Camps, we invite conference registrants to enjoy opening remarks from our APAHC leadership, as well as a plenary “fireside chat” with field leaders who will discuss their perspectives on psychologists’ ever-evolving roles in academic medicine, advocacy, and community leadership and engagement. Thursday evening will also host our poster session and reception, where we will provide light hors d’oeuvres and opportunities to network with other APAHC members. On Saturday afternoon, we will hold a dynamic, 2-hour program about ethical challenges, moral dilemmas, and ways to support ourselves and our peers while navigating rapidly evolving legislation, academic health center policies and procedures, and funding opportunities. You will not want to miss this opportunity to connect with and garner instrumental support from other APAHC members.

Conference Registration Deadlines:
• Early Bird Rates: Continue until March 14, 2025

• Standard Rates: Continue through April 15, 2025*
*Please note that registration closes April 15, 2025 at 11:59 PM. There will be NO on-site registration this year.

Boot Camp Application Deadlines:
Our APAHC Boot Camps are wonderful ways to continue honing professional skills and goals that are relevant to early career and mid-career psychologists. For example, did you know…
• Early Career Boot Camp is open to interns, fellows, and early career psychologists (up to 10 years post-doctoral degree) and registrants receive CV consultation and mentorship as part of the boot camp experience.
• Mid-Career Boot Camp is open to mid-career psychologists and focuses on building and attaining leadership roles, mentoring trainees in the context of the ever-changing national landscape, and promoting well-being throughout mid-career.
• This year, APAHC will foster cohort-based peer consultation groups for Early Career Boot Camp and Mid-Career Boot Camp attendees. That means that boot camp attendees can continue to network and collaborate following the conference, with quarterly meetings to help promote peer support, goal-setting, and peer accountability.
• Boot camp enrollment is limited. Don’t forget to apply for boot camps early to reserve your spot. Once boot camp organizers review your application, they will email you to provide additional information about next steps.

Monday 11/4: Free Virtual Panel Discussion: The Careerspan of an Academic Health Psychologist

Many health psychologists, from early to more advanced career stages, began their education and training in a pre- COVID world, only to find themselves navigating a quickly changing professional landscape of new challenges and opportunities. Health service educated and trained psychologists are being asked to make decisions now that could impact their career trajectory for many years to come.

The Association of Psychologists in Academic Health Centers (APAHC) Early Career Committee has organized a panel of professionals across the careerspan to offer insights to help you navigate your own career journey from internship and beyond. Panelists include:

• Ellen C. Joseph, PhD - Clinical Health Psychologist & Partnership Liaison, GI Psychology
• Dawn H. Huber, PhD - Associate Professor & Chief of Pediatric Psychology University of Missouri School of Medicine, Department of Pediatrics
• Helen L. C***s, PhD, ABPP - President and Clinical Director, Women’s Mental Health Associates & Health Psychology Solutions

Panelists will share their own career pathways and discuss navigating career decisions. After registering, you will have the opportunity to submit questions for the panel to discuss. Proposed topics include, but are not limited to, choosing career setting (academic v industry v private practice, or any combination thereof), contract negotiation, and creating a healthy work/life balance.

Registration is free, open to all, and available at https://www.ahcpsychologists.org/careerspan Spread the word!

APAHC is providing a One-Day Virtual Leadership and Management Conference “Leadership by Psychologists in Academic Health Centers” (L-PAHC) that is designed to prepare psychologists working in healthcare settings for leadership roles by refining their skills. Our target audience is psychologists who are in or desire to be in leadership roles or those who are simply wishing to understand more about leadership within healthcare. Psychologists have an excellent foundation through their training as well as their clinical and professional experiences to serve as leaders. This conference is designed to build on existing capacities, extend insights into how organizations function, deepen and broaden the skills needed for successful leadership, and prepare participants for the rewards and challenges of leadership opportunities. This conference will address perceived gaps identified in earlier surveys of psychologists regarding leadership readiness (Shaffer, Robiner, Cash, Hong, Washburn, & Ward, 2021). Cost will be $125 (Early Bird, Member), $175 (Member), $200 (Non-member). APAHC members will be given preference in registration. Other psychologists working in healthcare settings seeking these skills are also welcome. REGISTRATION COMING SOON, please save the date: February 9, 2024.
