APA has more than 39,200 members involved in psychiatric practice, research, and academia representing the diversity of the patients for whom they care.
As the leading psychiatric organization in the world, APA now encompasses members practicing in more than 100 countries.
The Jeanne Spurlock Congressional Fellowship was established in honor of the late Jeanne Spurlock, M.D., a former APA Deputy Medical Director and a child and minority mental health advocate.
The fellowship aims to provide the opportunity for two psychiatry residents or early career psychiatrists with significant interest in child and/or minority mental health advocacy to work in a congressional office. The recipients serve a 10-month fellowship in Washington, D.C., during which they will have the unique opportunity to expand their knowledge of federal legislative healthcare issues and experience the governmental process from within the system while serving the office on the practice of medicine and psychiatry.
