A highlight of every Institute on Psychiatric Services is a series of sessions featuring APA/Bristol Myers Squibb Fellows as faculty. These third- and fourth-year residents were selected for this prestigious fellowship based on their record of academic and professional achievement and their commitment to the field of public psychiatry. Since 1981 approximately 220 APA/Bristol-Myers Squibb Fellows have participated in the institute and presented highly acclaimed and well-attended workshops.
Formerly known as the APA/Mead Johnson Fellowship, the program was renamed in 1997 the APA/Bristol-Myers Squibb Fellowship. Mead Johnson Pharmaceuticals is a Bristol-Myers Squibb company.
