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 APA/BMS Fellowship Program are to provide experiences that will contribute to the professional development of residents who may be leaders in the public sector in the future and heighten the awareness of psychiatry residents of the many activities and career opportunities in the public sector.
Based on their interests, fellows are assigned to an APA component and take part in all deliberations, projects, and initiatives. They attend APA's fall component meetings in September in Washington, D.C., and other meetings as appropriate at the fellowship's expense. Fellows also participate in APA's Institute on Psychiatric Services.
Psychiatry residents entering PGY-3 during the fellowship term are eligible to participate in the program. Residents who will be in PGY-4 will be considered if they are in a five-year training program. The deadline for applications is April 1; selection notifications will be made in May.
Additional information and an application is available by visiting<www.psych.org/edu/med_students/bmsfellow/index.cfm> or calling (703) 907-8663. ▪
