BACKGROUND: In November of 2017, The Academy of the Psychosomatic Medicine voted to change its name to the Academy of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry. It followed a similar change in which the American Board of Medical Specialties voted to change the name of the field to Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry.
OBJECTIVE: The authors, all instrumental in bringing about this change, discuss the history and rationale for this name change. Copyright (c) 2017 The Academy of Psychosomatic Medicine. All rights reserved.
