Happy New Year medical students, residents, and fellows!
It was so refreshing to see some of you at the AACAP annual meeting in October, and my how time flies with us already weeks into the new year! A huge thank you to all of the speakers and presenters for the enriching lectures and workshops in Toronto, including those by some of our very own MSR members. One of the best parts of the annual meeting is the handful of new connections that are formed, both within and outside of MSR. It already feels like it happened long ago, and we are looking forward to next year in NYC!
We hope everyone had a happy, safe, and joy-filled holiday season and a great start to the new year! It is our wish that folks were able to step away from school/work to spend meaningful time with family and friends, and we thank everyone who worked through the holidays caring for our patients who need it most. We are looking forward to all that 2023 has in store for AACAP MSR!
Happy Match to all those who matched into child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship this month! We are so excited to watch everyone grow into the clinicians and leaders who will care for the young generation of children who need our help. For those applying to general psychiatry residency, as you decide on your rank lists, we wanted to remind you of the 2022 Virtual Psychiatry Residency Application Panel, which can be viewed HERE. We are sending well wishes for the Match in March as well! For anyone curious about the fellowship match process, it's not too far away until application season begins again - you can view last year's MSR CAP Fellowship Q&A session notes HERE. If there is any way we can support you through the MSR team, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Cheers to a new year!
