Last month’s 2018 American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) annual meeting in Seattle, Washington saw a strong presence from the Yale Child Study Center.

Several trainees across the medical school and Child Study Center received awards for their research and academic accomplishments.

  • Tanuja Gandhi received the Educational Outreach Travel Award
  • Amalia Londono Tobon and Hannah Reed (now a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University) received recognition for their AACAP Pilot Research Awards
  • Jennifer Dwyer received recognition for her Depression Fellowship from the Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation (KTGF)

Several medical students were honored for receiving Summer Medical Research Fellowships through AACAP (Gao and Desir) and Lifemember travel awards (Carly Kawanishi).

Faculty mentors Linda Mayes and Michael Bloch, who helped sponsored these awards, were also acknowledged at AACAP.

Congratulations to our award winners and thank you to our presenters and all of our community members who represented the Yale Child Study Center at this year’s AACAP!
