Midwest AAPL is pleased to announce the continuation of the Resnick Scholarships, Margolis Scholarships, and the Mossman Research Award to support residents‘ attendance at the 2025 Annual Meeting. What are the Resnick and Margolis Scholarships? Named to honor our esteemed senior colleagues Phillip J. Resnick M.D., Phillip Margolis, M.D., and Douglas Mossman M.D., these scholarships are stipends awarded each year to 3-5 residents to help them defray costs of attending the Annual Meeting.
The Resnick Scholar Award
The Resnick Scholar Award is a merit-based award bestowed upon trainees who have demonstrated a strong record of achievement and interest in forensic psychiatry. PGY3, PGY4 and non-forensic psychiatry fellows from programs in the United States are eligible. We will have up to TWO Resnick Scholars in 2025.
The Margolis Travel Scholarship
The Margolis Travel Scholarship is an award established to encourage PGY1 and PGY2 residents with Midwest connections (training in, or planning to do a fellowship or working in the Midwest post-graduation) to get exposure in the field of forensic psychiatry. We will have up to THREE Margolis Travel Scholars in 2025.
The Douglas Mossman Trainee and Early Career Research Award
The Douglas Mossman Trainee and Early Career Research Award is an award that recognizes scholarship in forensic psychiatry. Senior trainees (PGY3 and above inclusive of all fellows) and early career forensic psychiatrists (five or less years out of forensic fellowship) who have completed or who are in the process of working on forensic psychiatry research projects are eligible. ONE Mossman Award winner will be selected in 2025.
Award criteria and application instructions are attached. Award applications should be submitted to mwaapl.contact@gmail.com by February 7, 2025.
