Residents Invited To Submit Proposals For Poster Sessions
APA’s fall Institute on Psychiatric Services is its user-friendly meeting for psychiatry residents. In addition to having an opportunity to participate in poster sessions, residents can take advantage of numerous special sessions and events just for them.
Psychiatry residents will have a valuable opportunity in October to present their research in poster sessions at a national meeting sponsored by APA. The deadline for submissions is June 3.
From October 9 to 13, APA will be hosting its 54th annual Institute on Psychiatric Services in Chicago. The institute will feature poster sessions that will make it easy for residents who are working on research projects to present their findings to a national audience. In the past, roughly 90 percent of all poster submissions were accepted for presentation at the institute.
Residents will be able to attend the institute at a reduced registration fee of $60 by registering before the September 9 advance registration deadline.
In addition to the poster sessions, residents will find many other sessions and events of interest to them, including leadership and career development seminars, a full-day session on the homeless mentally ill, a residents-only "Meet the Experts" luncheon in which residents will be able to meet and network with nationally known faculty experts, a residents-only welcoming reception, clinical consultation sessions on a wide variety of topics in general and public psychiatry, and mentoring opportunities to residents new to the institute provided by the APA/Bristol-Myers Squibb Fellows and APIRE/Janssen Fellows.
The Institute on Psychiatric Services will also feature an exhibit hall where daily prize drawings and receptions will be held, along with industry-supported breakfast, lunch, and dinner symposia.
Residents interested in submitting poster proposals are asked to obtain a submission form by calling the APA Answer Center at (888) 35-PSYCH. The deadline for poster submissions is June 3. More information is available by contacting Jill Gruber, associate director of the Institute on Psychiatric Services, by phone at (202) 682-6214 or by e-mail at jgruber{at}psych.org.
