All candidates are invited to join the Candidate Organization, a candidate-ed group that is independent of the training institute. The Candidate Organization provides a forum for candidates to discuss matters relating to training as well as to represent and advocate for candidate concerns to the training institute. The Candidate Organization also sponsors opportunities for socializing with other candidates in NY, as well as with PTI candidates of the DC program. In addition, it has sponsored educational programs for PTI candidates as well as the professional community.
