AZA Allsop, MD, PhD, assistant professor of psychiatry, has been named a National Academy of Medicine Emerging Leaders in Health and Medicine (ELHM) Scholar.
The term is for three years and extends through June 30, 2027.
The ELHM program was launched by the National Academy of Medicine to increase the academy’s engagement with exceptional, interdisciplinary early- to mid-career professionals working in biomedical science, population health, health care, health policy, and related fields. Each year the academy selects up to 10 people to participate.
The program facilitates opportunities for mentorship, collaboration, and innovation between the emerging leaders, academy members, and experts across sectors. The goals of the program are to enhance the leadership experience, expertise, and opportunities of emerging leaders and to strengthen the academy by infusing the expertise, perspectives, and enthusiasm of the leaders into the academy’s programs and meetings.
While continuing to work at their primary institution, ELHM Scholars participate in certain academy activities, exchange ideas with each other and field leaders across sectors and disciplines, receive mentoring from academy members, and help shape the ELHM Program.
Allsop graduated from the Yale Psychiatry Residency Program and was co-chief resident of the Clinical Neuroscience Research Unit. He directs the AZA Laboratory at Yale School of Medicine and the Center for Collective Healing at Howard University.
