General Members are practicing psychiatrists who have completed an acceptable residency training program in psychiatry, and hold either a valid Nevada license to practice medicine or an academic, research, or governmental position that does not require licensure.

​

Early Career Psychiatrists (ECPs) are General Members of the APA who are within their first seven years after completion of training (ACGME accredited residency/fellowship). Dues are reduced for the first six years of General Membership to ease the financial burdens of early career psychiatrists.

​

The APA and the District Branches/State Associations have a dual membership requirement. Members must join both organizations.
