Congratulations to Shanon Astley, who has been named a 2024 Alexandra Symonds Fellow by the American Psychiatry Association (APA) and Association of American Women Psychiatrists (AWP)! The fellowship is awarded to outstanding female psychiatry residents/fellows who have demonstrated significant potential for leadership and contributions to women’s health. Astley will participate in the APA/AWP Annual Meeting, May 4-8, in New York. The fellowship is designed to develop female psychiatrist leaders and improve the personal and professional roles of women. This is a remarkable honor and well deserved!

Congratulations to Emma Felzien, who is a resident inductee to the Gold Humanism Honor Society (GHHS).

She accepts the award at a GHHS induction ceremony on March 13. We are proud of this remarkable accomplishment!
