Apply for Fellowship

Published Online:2 Jul 2010https://doi.org/10.1176/pn.45.13.psychnews_45_13_007

September 1 is the application deadline for members who want to be recognized with fellowship status in APA. The eligibility criteria to become an APA fellow are five years as a general member, board certification, and two letters of recommendation from APA fellows or distinguished fellows.

Three key benefits of fellowship are use of the FAPA designation on all professional documentation; recognition at the Convocation of Distinguished Fellows at the APA annual meeting, which next year will be in Honolulu, Hawaii; and a lapel pin and an embossed certificate indicating that the member is an APA fellow. Being an APA fellow is an honorary designation and does not increase membership dues.

More information and an application are posted at <www.psych.org/Resources/Membership/FellowsDistinguishedFellows.aspx>. Information about fellowship status is also available from Membership Department staff at (888) 357-7924.
