Description
The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry’s Educational Outreach Program, formerly the Travel Grant Program, helps general psychiatry residents gain a formal overview of child and adolescent psychiatry through participation in its in-person Annual Meeting. The program introduces residents to research opportunities, connects them with child and adolescent psychiatrists as mentors, and provides networking opportunities within the specialty.
The educational experience includes resident-focused activities such as a mentorship program, academic and networking sessions, an awards breakfast, and focus groups. A post-meeting stipend offsets some travel and lodging expenses associated with attendance. Both the award and program benefits are discretionary and contingent on adequate funding.
