APA Fellowship
Why Become a Fellow?
The Georgia Psychiatric Physicians Association invites eligible members to apply for Fellowship in the American Psychiatric Association! Fellowship status is an honorary designation designed to recognize early-career members who have demonstrated allegiance to their profession and commitment to the ongoing work of the Association. Members who pursue Fellow status perceive it as one of the first steps to enhancement of their professional credentials.
Guidelines and Criteria for Eligibility
The criteria to become an APA Fellow are:
• General Membership status for at least five years
• Certification by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, or the American Osteopathic Association
• Two letters of recommendation from current Fellows, Distinguished Fellows, Life Fellows, or Distinguished Life Fellows
• 30-day review period for the district branch (GPPA) to offer comments about the Fellowship candidate
• Approval by the APA Membership Committee
• Approval by the APA Board of Trustees
To verify whether or not a colleague is a Fellow, Distinguished Fellow, Life Fellow, or Distinguished Life Fellow, visit GPPA's online membership directory. Members who apply and are approved for the category of Fellow this year will officially become Fellows in December 2010, and will be invited to participate in the Convocation of Distinguished Fellows during the 2011 Annual Meeting in Hawaii.
