Rosen named an APA/APAF Public Psychiatry Fellow

By Nicholas Roznovsky
 

Second-year psychiatry resident Brooke Rosen, MD, has been selected as a 2017-2019 APA/APAF Public Psychiatry Fellow by the American Psychiatric Association (APA). Each year, ten recipients from across the United States and Canada are chosen through a competitive process for the two-year academic fellowship, which is funded by the APA Foundation.

As part of the fellowship, Rosen will have opportunities to engage in several mentorship sessions, conduct public psychiatry program site visits, and interact with thought leaders in the field of public psychiatry. She will also attend the 2017 and 2018 APA September Components meetings and Institute of Psychiatric Services (IPS) meetings, and work collaboratively with her fellowship colleagues to plan a series of workshops that will be presented at the IPS meeting in 2018.

The APA and APAF award up to 77 fellowships each year across eight different fellowship programs providing psychiatry residents the experiential learning, training, and professional development they need to become leaders in the field of psychiatry. The fellowship programs offer opportunities to work with Congress on health policy, conduct research of their design, expand access to care to minority and underserved populations, focus on child psychiatry or substance abuse, and much more.
