The American Neuropsychiatric Association (ANPA), established in 1988, is an organization of professionals in neuropsychiatry, behavioral neurology and the clinical neurosciences.  Our mission is to improve the lives of people with disorders at the interface of psychiatry and neurology through clinical care, education, advocacy and research. 

The strength of the organization is our diversity of membership, which is comprised of professionals in neuropsychiatry, behavioral neurology, neuropsychology, neuroradiology, neuropathology, and neurosurgery as well as the basic neurosciences, who share clinical and/or academic interests in neuropsychiatry.  The interdisciplinary nature of the membership encourages collaboration among educators, clinicians, researchers, students and trainees in research presentations, symposia, workshops and/or continuing education courses.  The Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences (JNP) is the official publication of the organization, and is a benefit of membership.

ANPA holds an annual scientific meeting and provides up to 30 CME / CE credits.   Members are encouraged to submit their work for presentation at these annual meetings.  Travel awards may be available for promising young investigators.  Annual meeting abstracts and proceedings are published in JNP. 

ANPA has taken an active role in the creation of subspecialty certification for neuropsychiatry including developing a core curriculum and setting up guidelines for training in neuropsychiatry.  As a result, Behavioral Neurology & Neuropsychiatry was approved as a subspecialty by the Unified Council for Neurologic Subspecialties (UCNS) in 2004.
