To recognize outstanding scholarship by young psychiatrists in Maryland, the MPS established annual “best paper” awards in 2013.  The Academic Psychiatry Committee is currently soliciting nominations in two categories:

• Best Paper by an Early Career Psychiatrist (ECP): Eligible psychiatrists are ECPs who are first authors of papers published or in press in 2016.

• Best Paper by a Resident-Fellow Member (RFM): Eligible psychiatrists are residents or fellows who are first authors of papers that were written, in press, and/or published in 2016.

Scholarly work of all kinds (e.g., scientific reports, reviews, case reports) will be considered.  If you would like to nominate a paper and author, please email or mail the paper to the appropriate address below by February 15.  Please include a brief explanation of why you believe the work is worthy of special recognition.
