New Fellows Selected for APA/APAF Fellowships
The APA/APA Foundation (APAF) Fellowships provide psychiatry residents the experiential learning, training, and professional development they need to be leaders in the field of psychiatry. The fellowships offer opportunities to work with Congress on health policy, conduct research, expand access to care to minority and underserved populations, focus on child psychiatry or substance abuse, and much more. In addition, the fellows get exclusive opportunities to be a part of APA leadership councils and network with APA members from around the country.
