The Pacific Rim is a region of great diversity. It contains several of the largest and most populous countries in the world, as well as some of the smallest. Our member countries are undergoing a variety of levels of socio-economic development, and thus the organization of general health and mental health services differs greatly among our member countries. The PRCP aims to foster greater national development of mental health services, and to support the improvement of education and research in psychiatry through greater professional collaboration in the Asia-Pacific Region.

​

The College also provides a formal setting for communication among our members through a biennial conference held in one of our member countries. . Further, members of the College also conduct seminars and support collaborative research and education projects in various areas of psychiatry. PRCP members are active in a variety of other professional organizations, such as IAPA, CPA, APA, and more.
