APA/OMNA Caucuses

APA minority caucuses give minority psychiatrists the opportunity to explore mutual issues, voice diverse opinions, and promote needed change. Participation in an APA caucus is free and reserved for APA members from minority and underrepresented (MUR) groups. Caucus members meet during the APA’s spring Annual Meeting, where they advocate for minority patient populations, discuss social and health-related issues, and explore concerns related to professional growth and advancement for members. Moreover, each caucus elects two representatives to the APA Assembly who have the same privileges and voting rights as district branch representatives.

There are seven APA MUR caucuses:

• American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian
• Asian-American
• Black
• Hispanic
• Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual
• International Medical Graduates
• Women

Membership is limited to only one caucus.
