Amy Cheung, MD, PhD, third-year resident, has been selected a recipient of the 2026 George Ginsberg Fellowship award by the American Association of Directors of Psychiatric Residency Training (AADPRT).
The award will be presented in March 2026 at the AADPRT Annual Meeting in Orlando, where leaders in medical education will gather for learning and networking opportunities. The meeting theme is, “Trust, Transformation, and Togetherness: Thriving in the Learning Environment.”
The George Ginsberg Fellowship acknowledges the excellence and accomplishments of outstanding residents interested in education and teaching who are pursuing careers as clinician-educators and/or academic administrators. The fellowship offers a continuation of education for residents, enabling them to learn from experts in the field of psychiatry.
Cheung will work with the John Cahill, BMBS, PhD, director of the Yale Psychiatry Residency Program, on an educational initiative on patient quality and safety.
At Yale, Cheung is part of the Public Psychiatry and Clinician Educator Distinction Tracks and a member of the Serotonin House in the residency program. She co-leads the Public Psychiatry, Mental Health Advocacy at Yale, and Lifestyle Psychiatry resident interest groups. She is a resident representative on the Medical Student Education Committee and previously served as director of communications in the Psychiatry Residents' Association.
In the Yale Resident Fellow Senate, Cheung is the inaugural VP of Wellbeing to collaboratively improve the landscape of wellness for residents and fellows across the institution.
