About Area 3

Area 3 or the Middle Atlantic Area is one of seven regional components of the Assembly of the American Psychiatric Association. Each area has a Council that is comprised of an area representative, an area deputy representative and  representatives from various entities.
Area 3 encompasses the District Branches of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, and the Washington Psychiatric Society, a district branch that consists of three chapters - Wash, DC, Northern Virginia, and the Maryland suburbs of the District of Columbia.
In addition to District Branch representatives, two subspecialty organizations (American Association of Psychiatric Administrators and The American Society for Adolescent Psychiatry) and the Southern Psychiatric Association have representatives on the Area 3 Council. There are representatives for Early Career Psychiatrists (ECP), Minority/Underrepresented (M/UR) - Women Psychiatrists Caucus and Resident-Fellow Members (RFM).

NJPA's 2018 Addictions Conference
The Opioid Crisis in 2018:
​What You Need to Know
Saturday, November 17, 2018 from 7:30 AM to 12:30 PM EST
Program Overview
As the opioid crisis continues to grow, it is vital that all clinicians become comfortable assessing opioid use disorders. We are taking a unique approach with this conference by using the biopsychosocial-spiritual lens to examine and illuminate the diverse aspects of the crisis. Opioid use disorders are not only an individual issue but a societal one, as well. That makes it all the more imperative for clinicians to take a broader view of public health and policy interventions. At the level of the individual, we see the impact of neurobiological disruption alongside psychological and spiritual manifes-tations. This program will explore these varied approaches as we discuss innovative ways to address the core problem of opioid misuse.
