Visiting Professorship Program

The Visiting Professorship Program was established in 1998 to promote the understanding and practice of consultation-liaison psychiatry and to increase awareness and institutional engagement in the field. The program supports host institutions in bringing an ACLP member to serve as a Visiting Professor for a one- to three-day educational program.

A limited number of Visiting Professorship awards are granted each year.
