The AACAP Educational Outreach Program for Child and Adolescent Residents provides the opportunity for child and adolescent psychiatry residents to receive a formal overview to the field of child and adolescent psychiatry, establish child and adolescent psychiatrists as mentors and experience the AACAP 2026 Annual Meeting. Participants will be exposed to the field of child and adolescent psychiatry, including research opportunities, access to mentors, and various networking opportunities. Applicants must be enrolled in a residency program in the United States at the time of the AACAP Annual Meeting in October 2026; residents in their first or second year of child fellowship training as of July 2026 are eligible. Triple Boarders at the PGY4 or PGY5 level, and Pediatric Portal Pathway residents at the PGY4 plus level, as of July 2026 are also eligible. Participants must either be members of the AACAP or have a membership application pending at the time of application. While past Educational Outreach Program awardees are eligible to apply, priority will be given to first time applicants. Candidates cannot receive multiple awards from AACAP in one year. The applicant's CAP Fellowship Program Director must submit a completed form indicating good standing from the applicant's training program, along with a letter of support. The letter should indicate how long the faculty member or mentor has known the applicant and in what capacity. In describing the candidate, it would be helpful for the letter to address the applicant's training, qualifications, accomplishments, interest in the child and adolescent psychiatry specialty, motivation for this award, and the potential benefits of the candidate attending the Annual Meeting, as appropriate. Please visit the award's website or contact the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) for more information.
