University of Maryland/Sheppard Pratt Residents Excel at the 2017 APA
Annual Meeting - from Mark Ehrenreich, M.D., Chief of Education and Director of
Residency Training
A record number of University of Maryland /Sheppard Pratt psychiatry residents were active participants in
the 2017 Annual Meeting of the American Psychiatric Association. Twenty residents (three PGY2s, nine PGY3s,
and eight PGY4s), two PGY4 child fellows who had fast tracked from our residency program into our child
fellowship, and one fourth year medical student presented two workshops, eleven posters, and one press
briefing at the annual meeting. I would like to acknowledge their excellent contributions to the broader
psychiatric community and for being wonderful ambassadors for our program.
