Division 28: Psychopharmacology and Substance Abuse

Resources for Students

Welcome to the new Division 28 website page for students! I hope that you will find the links listed below useful. If you have any suggestions on how to improve this site, please tell me.

Jennifer Perry
Student Representative

We invite you to become a student affiliate of APA and our division. APA is the largest association of psychologists worldwide, and the Division of Psychopharmacology and Substance Abuse is one of the first organizations to have the investigation of drugs and behavior as its mission. Our members include national and international experts in psychopharmacology and substance abuse.

Becoming a student affiliate of APA and of this division provides a forum for networking with other students as well as distinguished researchers and clinicians. You will also have access to listservs and websites that provide useful information about funding, post-doctoral positions, and other educational opportunities. Send an e-mail message to Joshua Lile, our membership chair, to become a student affiliate of Division 28.

Student affiliate status in our division is free. While APA affiliate status is not required, we recommend that our affiliates also become student affiliates of APA. You would then receive free subscriptions to APA magazines, discounts on APA journals, and low APA convention registration fees (this year, registration was free for all APA student affiliates who presented a first-author paper). Check out the many other benefits of APA affiliation.
