ACLP SIGs, Caucuses, and Forums

Many ACLP members are especially interested in one or more subspecialty areas of consultation-liaison psychiatry. We are pleased to sponsor a range of networking groups which bring together professionals to discuss clinical care, teaching, and research in subspecialty areas, or to share experiences. For many years, ACLP networking groups have provided vital connections, mentoring, and collaborative support to hundreds of our members. Our networking groups meet at the annual meeting and also throughout the year via listserv, video conferencing, and email.

The ACLP sponsors three types of networking groups. Special Interest Groups (SIGs) focus on the clinical population or work setting of the member (e.g., geriatrics, research). Caucuses bring members together based on personal identity (e.g., ethnicity, gender). All are welcome to participate in caucuses. Forums are for people in specific work positions (e.g., fellowship directors, division directors). Membership in forums is restricted to people in the work role of the forum.

Current networking groups and their leaders appear below (contact information for the chairs is available in the online member directory). Nearly all have dedicated webpages where you can learn detailed information on purpose and activities. All listservs are restricted to subscribers; only subscribers may post messages and visit listserv archives. Please read our listserv FAQ!

CAUCUSES

The mission of the ACLP Women’s Caucus is to encourage career development for CL psychiatrists among Academy members who identify as women. The Caucus seeks to provide support and networking. The Caucus meets during the Annual Meeting. All are welcome to participate.

FORUMS

Two additional listservs exist to network C-L Psychiatry fellowship program directors and C-L Psychiatry division directors, supporting discussions around shared challenges specific to these roles. Both groups meet at the Academy’s annual meeting and host occasional Zoom meetings. The C-L Psychiatry fellowship program directors’ listserv is exclusive to individuals currently in this role; the division directors listserv permits non-division directors sponsored by a current division director already subscribed to the group. Please contact the Executive Office for further information.
