Description
AACAP’s Mentorship Grants for Medical Students introduce medical students to child and adolescent psychiatry through attendance at the academy’s Annual Meeting. Supported by AACAP and offered in collaboration with its Committee on Medical Students and Residents, the program combines financial assistance for meeting expenses with networking, exposure to different specialties, and mentorship.
Recipients participate in seven Annual Meeting sessions, including a Life Member co-sponsored session, the two-day Mentorship Program, and the Opening Plenary. The experience includes programming sponsored by AACAP’s Life Members, experienced child and adolescent psychiatrists who mentor students and residents and share career insights. The award is intended to defray meeting-attendance expenses through reimbursement after the meeting.
