Description
The AACAP Summer Medical Student Fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry provides medical students with a structured, mentored experience in clinical or research settings focused on child and adolescent psychiatry. Over 12 consecutive weeks during the summer, fellows work closely with an AACAP-member mentor to develop research or clinical skills, participate in ethical discussions, and engage in program planning. The fellowship culminates with attendance and presentation at the AACAP Annual Meeting, where fellows present their work, network with leaders in the field, and participate in educational sessions. The program aims to foster professional development and support career planning for future leaders in child and adolescent psychiatry.
