Call for Nominations
Psychiatry residency training directors are invited to nominate residents for the APA/Bristol-Myers Squibb Fellowship in Public Psychiatry. The goals of the fellowship are to provide experiences that will contribute to the professional development of residents who will play leadership roles in the public sector and to heighten psychiatry residents' awareness of the many activities and career opportunities in the public sector.
Fellows are active participants in selected APA components and the Institute on Psychiatric Services. Based on their interests, fellows are assigned to an APA component and take part in all deliberations, projects, and initiatives. They receive sponsorship to attend component meetings in September in Washington, D.C., and other meetings as appropriate.
Psychiatry residents entering their PGY-3 of training during the fellowship term are eligible to participate. Residents who will be in their PGY-4 will be considered if they are in a five-year training program.
The deadline for applications is March 31, with notifications of selections in June.
An application and information are posted at <www.psych.org/publicpsychiatry>. More information also is available by e-mailing education@psych.
