APA/APAF Medical Student Programs

American Psychiatric Association (APA) and American Psychiatric Association Foundation (APAF) are committed to investing in the future of psychiatry.

APA/APAF Medical Student Programs provide medical students who are interested in serving underserved communities the experiential learning, training, and professional development they need to be leaders in the field of psychiatry. These grants give medical students opportunities to travel to APA Meetings (Annual Meeting and The Mental Health Services Conference), receive mentorship from psychiatrists and leaders in the field, and more.
