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 250 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 2000-02 APA/Bristol-Myers Squibb Fellows:
