Click below to reveal information
The American Psychosomatic Society will sponsor the development of Psychosomatic Medicine Interest Groups (PMIGs) at ten medical schools during the academic year 2011. These competitive awards will fund and guide innovative efforts to foster interest in psychosomatic medicine among medical students, residents, and other clinical trainees. The award for one year includes $1,000 per interest group for meeting-related expenses plus support in the form of guidelines for activities, slide sets, model curricula, speaker lists, reading lists, and other resources provided by the Strategic Growth Subcommittee of the Membership Committee of the APS. The first half of the funds will be distributed soon after the winners are announced. The remainder of the funds will be distributed the following January, or sooner if requested.
The goals of the award are to: 1) facilitate interest in psychosomatic medicine among medical students and other trainees; 2) promote education and research collaborations in psychosomatic medicine at that institution; 3) recruit promising physicians and young researchers into the American Psychosomatic Society; 4) cultivate the career paths of students interested in psychosomatic medicine; and 5) establish the feasibility of developing interest groups at a larger number of medical schools.
