Make Your Choice for ACLP Award Nominations
Deadline for first awards is April 30
There’s still time for ACLP members to get involved and nominate recipients for several of this year’s Academy awards.
Whom in particular would you like to visit your institution, to bring their expertise, and maybe help develop an innovation you’d had in mind?
Visiting professor successful nominations of the past have included last year’s winner, Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine. Their visiting professor was Sheila Lahijani, MD, FACLP, chair of the Palliative Medicine & Psycho-Oncology SIG, who helped them to develop a model for an inpatient psycho-oncology service and support for an existing outpatient psycho-oncology clinic which had limited capacity and was not staffed by a physician nor C-L psychiatrist.
Whom among your trainees stands out as being deserved of a travel grant to attend the ACLP Annual Meeting?
Which high-achieving members deserve the status of being acknowledged as a Fellow of the Academy?
The Stoudemire award has in the past gone to recipients who have demonstrated their innovatory skills, such as last year’s winner, David Fipps, DO, senior associate consultant, psychiatry, Mayo Clinic Department of Psychiatry and Psychology.
The award is given to an individual or group who has/have developed and/or led a creative educational program in C-L Psychiatry that is outstanding by virtue of its excellence, innovation, and impact.
Dr. Fipps is known to Academy members who have attended ACLP webinars, which he co-ordinates and moderates, involving trainee presenters alongside experienced discussants.
Which newcomers to C-L Psychiatry would benefit from still further training and support by being among the 10 selected for a Webb fellowship?
And among all those newcomers you may have mentored or who have caught your attention, which ones have a talent for health care research—and would benefit the most from an expert mentorship?
Deadlines for your nominations, and descriptions of awards, are:
April 30
July 1
August 21
A Zoom meeting to help members navigate the ACLP Awards process is being held on April 22. It includes an overview of the award selection, updates on changes to the process, award descriptions, and an explanation of the criteria and decision-making process for each award. A panel of experienced Academy members will lead a live Q&A, giving attendees the opportunity to ask questions and gain clarity on the application and nomination process.
