Dear Friends and colleagues,
You have received this letter because you have been a recent member of the Association of Medicine and Psychiatry, or because you have voiced an interest in joining.

As I write to you the news is full of the political hurly burly of a presidential election year. The watchwords seem to be change and hope. In that spirit I would like to share with you some of the changes in the organization and the hopes that we have for it over the next few years.
