The American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry (AAAP) and the AADPRT Addictions Committee are pleased to announce the AAAP-AADPRT Visiting Scholars Award in Addiction Education, developed to promote and improve educational programming in addiction psychiatry for general psychiatry residents and Child and Adolescent (CAP) fellowships.
Member programs of AADPRT are invited to apply for this award that will be granted to two select programs each academic year (see selection criteria below). The award consists of consultation from a visiting scholar with expertise in addiction psychiatry and education for one academic year. While applying programs are welcome to suggest desired scholars, selected programs will meet virtually with AAAP and AADPRT Addictions Committee members to further assess program needs and identify well-suited scholars. Scholars will be supported in their work by a stipend supported by the AAAP Sheldon Miller Fund.
The structure of the consultation will be mutually agreed upon by programs and
visiting scholars and may include virtual consultation. Consultation may
be spread over the academic year or may be consolidated into a shorter time frame to
meet the goals of the program. Both the program and the scholar will be announced at the annual meetings of AADPRT and AAAP.
Selection criteria will include:
The goal of this award is to assist psychiatry residency programs in developing and improving their addiction psychiatry teaching and training. While visiting scholars may serve as content experts to train and coach faculty in teaching addiction psychiatry, the goal is not simply to provide a lecture teaching addictions content, but rather to help programs develop innovative approaches to incorporate and expand addiction teaching into general psychiatry settings.
Examples of educational outcomes for programs receiving this award include:
