Uncommon card · No. 156556

The American Psychological Association (APA) is a professional organization of psychologists in the United States, and the largest psychological association in the world. It has over 190,000 members, including scientists, educators, clinicians, consultants, and students. It has 54 divisions, which function as interest groups for different subspecialties of psychology or topical areas. Through its Commission on Accreditation, the APA accredits graduate education and training programs in health service psychology. In September 2026, a federal advisory committee recommended suspending the commission's federal recognition for 12 months, citing regulatory noncompliance and alleged failures to address antisemitism in accredited programs. The APA disputed the recommendation.
