Welcome Message from Dr. Vaught: A big congratulations and warm welcome to our incoming PRITE and CHILD PRITE Fellows. It is a great privilege to have all of you join our wonderful community, and we look forward to sharing our experience with you over the next two years. Being selected for this fellowship is not just a tremendous achievement, but also a great opportunity to make an impact in the field of psychiatry. Furthermore, being a PRITE Fellow will allow you to interact and cultivate both professional and personal relationships with a unique group of people that are dedicated to advancing psychiatric education. More specifically, you will have the chance to work with members of the PRITE Editorial Board, as well as directly interact with leaders in our field through The American College of Psychiatrists. Many of our PRITE/CHILD PRITE Fellows come from diverse backgrounds that yield insight into various clinical and personal experiences, as well as expertise that help us improve our knowledge base through question writing and collegial conversations. Our community is a respectful and responsive one so please don’t ever hesitate to ask your questions, bring up ideas, and provide feedback. I hope you will discover over the next two years what I have discovered in mine: that you have been welcomed into a fellowship that is rewarding, breeds camaraderie and meaningful relationships, and one that will provide you with so many opportunities to be both a teacher and a learner. We look forward to working with you all as we continue to strive for excellence in academic medicine. |
