APA Fellowship is a national honor and is awarded to outstanding psychiatrists who have made and continue to make significant contributions in at least five of the areas listed below. Note that these areas cover a wide range of professional and community activities and provide the opportunity for Fellowship to members with a broad range of skills and interests. Applicants should be able to demonstrate excellence in their activities. Excellence, not competence, is the hallmark of a Fellow. Although the deadlines for consideration have yet to be set by the APA and PPS, completed applications and supporting letters must be received in our office by approximately May 15.
Reference letters are very important.
Applications are first considered by the PPS Membership Committee, which makes recommendations to the PPS Council. Council then forwards its recommendations to the APA in late summer. The Pennsylvania Psychiatric Society. All Rights Reserved.
