Abstract

Japan Young Psychiatrists Organization was founded in 2002. The Course for Academic Development of Psychiatrists (CADP) held in 2001 was the momentum to establish JYPO. CADP is the course designed by Professor N. Sartorius for the purpose of developing professional and leadership skills of young psychiatrists. From then, JYPO have continued to hold CADP annually. Now we JYPO welcome the participants of CADP from overseas. We aim to introduce the detailed contents of CADP to the Asian colleague and encourage them to participate in CADP.
