Applications Invited for APA/Shire Fellowship

Applications are invited for the 2010-2011 APA/Shire Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship Program. Fellowships will be awarded to five residents to travel to APA's 2010 and 2011 annual meetings and to work with mentors on issues in child and adolescent psychiatry.

The fellowship was established in 2002 to interest general psychiatry residents in considering careers in child and adolescent psychiatry through specific educational opportunities unavailable to them otherwise.

The fellowship is open to PGY-1 through PGY-3 residents. Applicants must be APA members and have approval from their training director or department chair.

The deadline for applications is November 20. They must include a completed application form; a 500-word letter of interest detailing the applicant's experience, knowledge, and career path; curriculum vitae; and a letter of support from a residency training director or department chair including the applicant's potential contribution to child and adolescent psychiatry.

The fellowship is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Shire Pharmaceuticals.
