Congratulations to Dr. Luis Sandoval who recently received the John Majda Foundation Award in recognition and support of his ongoing research looking at the impact of the therapeutic relationship and specific interventions on the part of the caregiver on patients who present with active suicidal ideation.  Dr. Sandoval has taken it upon himself to explore this important element of suicide prevention and we are incredibly proud of his initiative and the well-deserved recognition and support that this award brings. 

Congratulations to our own Dr. Katie Hirst, the recipient of this year’s prestigious 2008 Wyeth Fellowship of the Association of Women Psychiatrists! The AWP-Wyeth-Ayerst Fellowships offers just two one-year fellowships per year to outstanding women residents who have demonstrated leadership and a contribution to women’s health. The fellowship is designed in keeping with AWP goals of developing leadership in women psychiatrists as well as contributing to the overall mission of improving the personal and professional future roles of women.  Katie is the first combined resident ever to receive this honor... Well done!
