Psychologists in academic health centers have special
concerns and unique challenges. The Association of Psychologists in
Academic Centers
(APAHC) was established in 1982 to advocate for academic health center
psychologists (teaching hospitals, medical schools, allied health schools, and VA medical
centers). APAHC provides a forum for psychologists who are faculty
and/or staff members in academic health centers and other psychologists
who support the purpose and mission of the Association. APAHC is Section VIII of Division 12 (Society of Clinical
Psychology) of the American Psychological Association. APAHC is also
a member of the Council of Academic Societies of the Association of
American Medical Colleges (AAMC). APAHC's dual affiliation, with psychology
and with medicine, reflects its unique position among the panoply of
psychology organizations.
APAHC's purpose is to promote the discipline and profession of psychology
in academic health centers and to enhance the participation of psychologists
in academic health center governance, research, education and clinical
care. APAHC members strive to expand psychology's role and the role of
behavioral science in health care research, clinical services, and the
education of medical students, graduate students, pre--doctoral psychology
interns, postdoctoral fellows, and resident physicians. APAHC supports
active leadership roles for psychologists in all aspects of academic
health center operation and administration. The Association promotes
an equal and collegial role for psychologists with other health care
professionals. APAHC is committed to fostering the application of psychological
and behavioral science knowledge and technology to the practice of medicine
and psychology to the infusion of psychological principles into research, clinical
care and teaching programs of academic health centers. APAHC activities
are designed to benefit patients, health care trainees, the general public
and to also to advance psychology in medical settings.
