APA and the American Psychiatric Foundation, in collaboration with the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, invite nominations for the Jeanne Spurlock Congressional Fellowship.
This fellowship provides a unique opportunity to general psychiatry and child psychiatry residents to work in a congressional office or with a congressional committee on federal health policy, particularly policy related to child and minority issues.
This fellowship was established in honor of the late Jeanne Spurlock, M.D., who was deputy medical director of APA's Office of Minority/National Affairs and an advocate for child and minority issues.
The recipient will serve a 10-month fellowship on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., starting January 1, 2008. The fellow will be introduced to the structure and development of federal and congressional health policy, with a focus on mental health issues affecting children and minorities. Fellows traditionally help develop legislative proposals, track and analyze legislative initiatives, arrange hearings, brief members of Congress and their staffs, and interact with constituents.
The fellowship is open to APA members who are PGY-2 or PGY-3 general psychiatry residents, child psychiatry residents, or child psychiatrists who will be out of training for less than one year at the time of the fellowship.
The deadline for applications is March 9. They should include a letter from the applicant, the applicant's CV, and three letters of recommendation and be mailed to Marilyn King; APA Office of Minority/National Affairs, 1000 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 1825, Arlington, VA 22209. This fellowship is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Wyeth.
More information is available by contacting Marilyn King by phone at (703) 907-8653 or e-mail at [email protected].▪
