AAPA promotes medical leadership and medical excellence in
behavioral healthcare systems, including services for mental
illness, substance use disorders, and developmental
disabilities. With the ultimate aim of enhancing the
effectiveness, efficiency, and humanity in service delivery, the
AAPA seeks to promote the professional development of
psychiatrists

from novice to experts;

varying complexity, from solo practice to large healthcare
systems; and

including public, private, and academic.

assisting leaders in the field of psychiatry and psychiatric
administration...

environment in which services are provided for mental,
substance use, or developmental disorders.

theories effectively within the full range of practice
arenas and psychiatric subspecialities.
