The strength of the New Jersey Psychiatric Association (NJPA) lies in its members’ expertise and commitment to the delivery of quality, evidence-based psychiatric care. The NJPA believes that to appropriately serve and represent New Jersey psychiatrists, its leadership must reflect the face of the profession. In that regard, the Association is led by psychiatrists from diverse backgrounds with respect to gender, race, ethnicity, career stage, and sub-specialty. Leadership opportunities exist at the local and state level within the NJPA and range from one-time issue review or time-limited workgroups to participation at the highest level as a member of the Executive Committee or Board of Trustees. When you are ready to seek out leadership opportunities, email the NJPA Executive Director, Patricia DeCotiis, at patricia.decotiis@njpsychiatry.org. Remember, the NJPA is built upon the strength and commitment of its members. Continue that tradition!

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop Read More
