APA Daily Bulletin - Day 2, 2008 - (Page 7) May 5, 2008 The Daily BULLETIN Monday Robinowitz, continued diagnosis used throughout the world. As such, it must be clearly science-based and without bias. Recognizing the concerns of many about undue influence of industry on medical care, APA set stringent principles to be followed for contributors to the process including extensive disclosure of potentially competing interests, as well as divestiture of industry support. These standards represent a new level of openness — going beyond previously published rules in other medical specialties or those set for consultants to government agencies. Alliances: We have focused on strategic and practical alliances — working with colleagues to further our vision and joint goals. You have heard of some of our efforts with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and Mental Health America — important advocacy groups. Our relationship with AMA and the House of Medicine particularly through our Section Council also has been outstanding, addressing issues of mutual concern related to scope of practice, standards of care, education, professionalism and ethics, science, and public health. We have also worked with individual medical specialties, as we did this year in developing a report in concert with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists on the management of depression during pregnancy. We have had a good year, and we have been highly effective, but our success in advocacy poses a constant challenge, and we must not become complacent as there is still much to do. In closing, I am asking two things of everyone here. The first is communication with members. Our association exists for members and our strength comes from their membership. We need a robust membership base to inform our directions and actions as well as provide through dues, resources to do our work. Spread the news and tell what has been one of the best-kept secrets: how much APA does for our profession and for our patients. Secondly, pledge to engage in at least one advocacy activity. Call or write your legislators (there are templates and links on our website or in the member resource center in the exhibit area). Meet with them or their staff at home, write a letter to the editor or online to a radio show or blog, speak to clergy or other religious groups, join and become active in AMA and/or your local or state medical society, work to educate other health professionals. Two years ago, as President Steve Sharfstein, M.D., completed his presidential term, he noted that he was not ready to slow down and indeed that we as a profession cannot slow down. PastPresident Ruiz has demonstrated his own energy and contributions in the international arena and with the World Psychiatric Association. I too, although getting ready to celebrate my 70th birthday, am not ready to slow down or walk away. There is too much to be done. Fortunately, our leadership is composed of highly energetic advocates, and I know that incoming president Nada Stotland, M.D., will be an even more vigorous leader and that Alan Schatzberg, M.D. (our incoming president-elect) has wonderful vision and force of conviction. Both will partner effectively with our staff. So our Association is in very good hands. But it really works well when we, put our voices into action for science, our profession and our patients.
