APA Member Testimonials
In this video, several APA members talk about why they became psychologists, what they enjoy about psychology and the benefits of belonging to the American Psychological Association.
Early Career Psychologists
About 15,000 of our members are early-career psychologists, defined as those within seven years of receipt of their doctoral degrees. These members, along with students now in the doctoral pipeline, will determine the future of psychological science, professional practice, education and training.
APA Fellows
Fellow status is bestowed upon APA members who have made outstanding contributions to the field of psychology or evinced exceptional performance. Election to fellow status requires that a person's work has had a national impact beyond a local, state or regional level.
