Psychiatry Fellows to Be Integral Part of Institute

A highlight of every Institute on Psychiatric Services is a series of sessions featuring APA/Bristol-Myers Squibb fellows as faculty. These third- and fourth-year residents were selected for the fellowship based on their record of academic and professional achievement and their commitment to the field of public psychiatry. Since the fellowship’s founding, approximately 300 APA/Bristol-Myers Squibb fellows have participated in the institute and presented highly acclaimed and well-attended workshops.

This year’s institute features the following sessions to be presented by 2002-04 APA/Bristol-Myers Squibb Fellows:

•.	“Criminals or Patients? Attitudes of Psychiatrists to Emotionally Disturbed Persons”
•.	“Media and Psychiatry: Friend or Foe?”
•.	“Perception Becomes Reality: Patients’ Views on Physician and Pharmaceutical Industry Relations”

The 2002-04 fellows are Claire Monica Belgrave, M.D., of SUNY Downstate Medical Center; Leslie L. Buckley, M.D., M.P.H., of the University of Toronto; Grace Monica Cotelingam, M.D., of the University of Maryland School of Medicine; Caroline E.
