AACAP Summer Medical Student Fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

About Scholarship

The AACAP Summer Medical Student Fellowships offer a chance for medical students to explore a career in child and adolescent psychiatry, gain valuable work experience, and meet leaders in the child and adolescent psychiatry field. The fellowship opportunity provides award recipients up to $3,500 for 12 weeks of clinical or research training under a child and adolescent psychiatrist mentor. Applicants must be students enrolled in accredited U.S. medical schools. Participants must obtain AACAP membership which is free for medical students. The student's mentor must be a member of AACAP.; commit to working extensively with the student throughout the summer for the duration of the fellowship training; provide guidance on the format and content of papers and presentations; assist in the preparation of the final paper and research poster; and discuss work and future career plans with the award recipient at the end of the fellowship. The student will submit an application with a detailed outline of the proposed research proposal and a description of the student's involvement in the project. The letter of support from the applicant's proposed mentor must describe the mentor's role in the project; details on the scope of commitment to the applicant's training; and a summary of their relevant mentorship background. Applicants must also provide a letter of good standing from their medical school. Please visit the fellowship's website or contact AACAP for more information.
